P. rufipes is not common in Denmark, Copenhagen in a garden. 

 Søndermarken, Ordrup Krat, on Funen at Hvidkilde (Stæger, the 

 author), in Jutland at Funder near Silkeborg (Esben-Petersen); 

 the dates are ^"/s — "U. As seen from the description I possess specimens 

 with rather dark tibiæ, perhaps answering to confiisus Verr., but I 

 think my specimens belong to one species; Becker declares also (1. c. 

 1921, 163) that he is of opinion that confusus Verr. is only a synonym 

 of rufipes. I have seen Zetterstedt's specimens and I found them 

 identical with the present species. 



Geographical distribution: — Europe down into Italy, towards 

 the north to middle Sweden.
