Black, rather shining, and broad : head rounded^ rather narrower than the 

 thorax^ the latter slightly truncate in front and narrowed behind^ with no 

 channel on the disc: elytra rather broader and longer than the thorax, 

 slightly pubescent : legs rufous : antennce rather stout, and incrassated at 

 the tip. 



Not common : it has occurred in Suffolk, and I possess a specimen 

 from the vicinity of Bristol.

Black, rather shining, with a faint pubescence : head rather narrower than 

 the thorax, suborbiculate : thorax with an obsolete dorsal furrow : elytra 

 somewhat transverse, rather longer and broader than the thorax : abdomen 

 linear, scarcely twice the length of the elytra : legs piceous, the anterior 

 palest: antennae nearly as long as the thorax, slightly thickened exteriorly, 

 with the terminal joint conic. 



Found in Norfolk and Suffolk, apparently not very common.
