It often appears on windows. Our insect agrees better with 

 Erichson's description of Omalium concinnum, than with 0. 

 deplanatum, to which specimens are often referred. The elytra 

 are always longitudinally substrigose. Stephens' description is 

 so indefinite, that it is difficult to decide as to which of the two 

 closely allied species it belongs.
