 at middle often with indication of rowed punctation; abdominal tip extreme- 

 ly finely or indistinctly punctated. L. 2.5 mm. 



In the c? the posterior margin of elytra is rounded off, in the Q oblique- 

 ly rounded off with acute angular produced sutural corners. 



Distributed in Middle Europe; with us it is local, most frequent in 

 the islands, rarer in the wooded regions of Jutland; in flowers.

Easily identified by the color as well as by the very dense punctation 

 of head and pronotum. 



Unicolorous reddish-yellow or with somewhat lighter elytra, somewhat 

 glistening; abdomen extremely finely haired; antennae sometimes brownish 

 toward the tip. 



The head densely and rather deeply punctated, inside the eyes very 

 finely longitudinally aciculated, forehead foveae before the ocelli very 

 small, and those at the fore-margin feeble, the antennae feebly thickened 

 distally; pronotum twice as broad as long, somewhat narrower than elytra, 

 with slightly rounded sides, flatly convex, very densely and rather finely 

 punctated, the surface very densely shagreened and due thereto dull, in 

 middle-lins often feebly grooved or only with a trace of grooves. Elytra 

 are twice as long as pronotum, densely and rather robustly punctated, pos- 

 teriorly faintly broadened; abdominal tip especially finely and rather dense- 

 ly punctated. L. 2.5 mm.
