Ent. Tidskr., vol. 9, p. 127, 1888, preocc.) is conspecific with D. tipu- 

 lipes as suggested by Edwards (Trans. Linn. Soc. Lond., vol. 15, 

 pt. 2, p. 197, 1912). The material at hand indicates the possibility of 

 a mistaken observation on Bergroth's part in regard to the position of 

 fiic.i, and it appears that Edwards is right in his assumption. It will 

 require more material to decide this question finally.
