Trupheoneura. 139 



As seen from the description this species is very similar to liitei- 

 femorata, also I shoiild not have hesitated in considering it the male 

 to this species were it not that Wood, as remarked above, says 

 that in luteijemorata the arms (flaps) of the hypopygial forceps 

 are symmetricai. 



T. similis is a rare species, it has been taken in Geel Skov on ^*U 

 and Vio 1918 (the author), two males; they occurred on bushes. 



Geographical distribution: — Besides in Denmark the species 

 has also been found in Holland, according to a specimen kindly sent 

 to me from Pater Schmitz, but it is hitherto not known from Ger- 

 many as erroneously recorded by me 1. c.

Male. Frons broader than high (7 — 4), black, dull; of the rows

 Abdomen black, dull, sparingly clothed with short hairs, slightly 

 longer at the hind margins of the segments, especially on sixth seg- 

 ment; the segments nearly of the same length, at most the second 

 a little longer. Hypopygium somewhat large, mainly black, when 

 fully exposed brown and shining above at base; the forceps very 

 unsymmetrical, the left arm more than three times as long as the 

 right and rather broad, broadly rounded at the end, seen from 

 below it is spoon-like hollowed and followingly arched above; the 

 right arm not longer than broad at the base and somewhat shorter 

 than the brown anal tube which is seen between the two arms and 

 has long hairs; below there is a large, arched ventral plate. Legs a 

 little less slender than in perennis, but, however, rather slender,
