Shining, pitchy-black : labrum, head behindj and sides of the collar, reddish ;

One of my specimens is very remarkable for the extraordinary dissimilarity of 

 its antennae, the right one is slender, with rather indistinct short joints, and 

 of the usual length ; the other is about half the length, and composed of 

 about 10 rather elongate subclavate joints, the terminal one being largest, 

 compressed and truncate, forming a kind of club ! 



Found in the marshes near Hertford, in the beginning of June.
