 at middle of vertex, the surface of both is distinctly chagreened, an- 

 tennae rather robust; pronotum a little narrower than elytra, a little 

 broader than long, with slightly rounded, posteriorly rather rectilinear 

 inclined sides and obtuse angular, yet distinctly prominent hind corners, 

 convex, isolated and flat punctation and finely middle-grooved; elytra 

 1 '/j times as long as pronotum, longer than their breadth together, dense- 

 ly and rather robustly punctated; abdomen very sparsely and finely punc- 

 tated; hind tibiae toward the tip especially finely spiniferous. L. 3-4 mm. 



In the O the posterior margin of the seventh ventral abdominal joint 

 at middle feebly, in the Q more strongly produced. 



distributed in North and Middle Europe. In this country rather rare. 

 It is found at the strand, as well as inland at river- and lake-shores 

 and on other moist sandy ground, often numerous.

Very closely allied to and almost identical with pallipes ir. and oft-

 II, 618 and other places". But the body is asa rule somewhat more robust, 

 antennae lighter, the vertex without fovea, pronotum broader, posteriorly 

 incurved constricted, and posterior corners almost rectangular, elytral 

 and abdominal punctation is somewhat more robust. - From the likewise very 

 colsely allied rastellus it is separated mainly in that, the vertex is 

 without fovea and antennae and legs of lighter color; ordinarily it is 

 also somewhat smaller and narrower, and stands in so far midwise between 

 this and pallipes .
