Oblong ; head black ; mouth, palpi, and antenna pale testaceous ; 

 thorax dark brown, rather elongated, narrowed behind, with 

 the hinder angles acute prominent ; elytra brown, faintly stri- 

 ated, having two pale spots, one large and nearly oval at the 

 base, the other small and placed near to the extremity of the 

 suture ; body beneath dark brown ; legs pale. 



In var. j3. the elytra are more deeply striated, and slightly punc- 

 tate, the base nearly quite pale, and the apical spot very small ; the 

 antennae and legs are redder. 



This insect does not appear to be uncommon under the bark of 

 trees and in moss ; the variety occurs in company with the type, but 

 not near so frequently.

* It may be as well to observe, that persons using Dejean's Iconographie must 

 trust to the descriptions, and not the figures, as the latter are done in such a manner 

 as only to give a general idea of the respective insects, and not their specific charac- 

 ters.
