Redescription. Body. Length 2.7–3.4 mm, convex, parallel­sided, glossy ( Fig. 3); body colour pitchy brown to black; legs reddish brown to pitchy brown, antennae red to brown, three basal tergites often paler, brownish red.

Head circular in outline, moderately convex, eyes large, moderately protruding from lateral contours of head, length of each seen from above subequal to that of postocular region; surface of head without microsculpture; puncturation fine and dense. Antennae short, clearly increasing in width apically, antennomere 3 slightly shorter than 2, antennomeres 4–8 longer than wide, antennomeres 9–10 quadrate, antennomere 11 nearly conical.

Pronotum quadrate, lateral sides gradually narrowed in straight line to obtuse hind angles; before base with small and shallow transverse impression; surface without microsculpture; puncturation fine, dense and asperate; pubescence at midline directed posteriorly.

Elytra subquadrate, at suture as long as pronotal length at midline; surface lacking microsculpture; puncturation fine, dense and asperate.

Abdomen parallel­sided, bases of tergites 3–5 each with deep transverse impression, impressions with 7–8 longitudinal ridges, tergal puncturation fine and moderately dense, punctures moderately small and well visible, surface without microsculpture.

Male. Aedeagus as in Figs. 91–92.

Female. Spermatheca as in Fig. 93.

Remarks. Tachyusa coarctata is very similar to T. nitidula , from which it differs by the more robust body, the more convex pronotum, the coarser and more asperate pronotal puncturation and by the shape of the aedeagus.

Distribution. Tachyusa coarctata is widespread in the Palaearctic Region, from France and Italy in the west to the Caucasus in the east. The records from Portugal and Spain are doubtlessly based on a misidentification of T. nitidula . The records of T. coarctata from North Korea (Paśnik, 2001) belongs to T. wei .
