 Distributed in Europe; in this country rather rare especially in 

 the northern Jutland, more common on the islands; in meadows, damp 

 forest ground and at lake shores in alluvium. 



In a remarkably robust specimen (£ ) in my collection the punctation 

 of the body is all over considerably coarser than in the typical form, 

 especially on the elytra and abdomen; forehead-grooves entirely oblit- 

 erated, and forehead fully and distinctly convex, elytra proportionately 

 broader or a little shorter, yet a little longer than pronotum, entirely 

 smooth; abdomen thick and perfectly round, posteriorly scarcely taper- 

 ing. L. 4.5 mm.

Somewhat like brunnlpes , and like this with round abdomen, but the 

 fourth joint of tarsi is deeply cleft and bilobed, elytra longer and as

 ly and especially finely haired; first joint of maxillary palpi and base 

 of the second yellow; antennal first two joints and club black, the in- 

 termediate joints blackish-brown or reddish-brown; legs likewise black- 

 ish - or reddish-brown.
