Entirely black and somewhat glabrous. Head very minutely 

 punctured and subrugose, with a short fovea on each side behind 

 the antennae, which are black and glabrous at the base, and the 

 upper joints fuscous. Thorax subquadrate, narrowed in front, 

 sides regularly rounded till behind the middle, then almost 

 straight with the margins very broadly elevated and the posterior 

 angles produced, disk crowded with minute flexuous punctures 

 and wrinkles, appearing almost reticulated, the base and the 

 lateral margins depressed. Elytra oblong-ovate, very convex, 

 minutely granulated, the granules on the margins being larger ; 

 underside of body shining black, sides rugose; legs black. 

 Length 1 1-12 lines. 



A mountain species, which is plentiful in the Highlands of 

 Scotland and occurs also in the north of England, in North Wales 

 and in Ireland. Stephens has recorded it as a remarkable fact 

 that the first British specimen is stated to have been captured in 

 Surrey, which is the only instance known of its occurrence in 

 the south,.
