This species is at once and easily recognized by its peculiar, large, 

 shallow, circular punctures of the elytral striae, not observable in 

 any other of our species. There is considerable variation in size, 

 but in other respects the species is quite constant. 



Material examined. — A series of several hundred specimens. Occurs 

 throughout the United States, Europe, and probably the entire 

 world.
