(Payk. Mori. Staph. 67; Erichs. Kaf. Uk. Br. I, 633; 3en. Spec. Staph. 

 879; Kraatz Ins. D. II, 996; Thorns. Skand. Col. Ill, 214; Eey Brevip. 188C, 

 234; Janglb. Kaf. U. II, 740. - viburnl Jravh. Llicr. 117). 



Among the following most closely allied species easily identified by 

 the color of the antennae and the punctation of elytra. 



Black, glistening, very sparsely, finely haired; antennae either entire- 

 ly black or at least the basal joint dark, and the nearest following and 

 last joint brownish-red; legs yellowish-red, sometimes with darker femora. 



The head with rather robust and scattered punctation, anteriorly almost 

 smooth, the surface elsewhere feebly aciculated, the forehead before ocelli 

 with two short, oblique grooves, and anteriorly with two flat, oblong im- 

 pressions, antennae rather short and robust, smoothly thickened distally, 

 their four-five next-last joints rather strongly transverse; pronotum some- 

 what narrower than elytra, broader than long, posteriorly narrowing, with 

 rounded, but before the obtuse-angulate hind corners slightly incurved 

 sides, slightly convex, rather robustly and densely punctated, marginal 

 punctures aciculated, dorsum at middle often with two very feeble or in- 

 distinct longitudinal impressions; elytra about twice as long as pronotum, 

 rather robustly and densely punctated, the punctures mutually connected 

 with fine lines; abdomen with very fine and isolated punctation, the sur- 

 face densely shagreened. L. 4-6 mm. 



Distributed in Europe; in this country not rare in the islands and in 

 the wooded regions of Jutland, on blooming plants and at outflowing tree- 

 sap, also in hollow trees, in bird's nests, and under bark.
