a shape is also often seen, but it is liere and in other instances always 

 artificial and only due to exsiccation. 



A. jungivora is not rare 'in Denmark; Ermelund, Lyngby, Holte, 

 Geel Skov, Bogø soutli of Sealand and in Jiitland at Hejls south of 

 Kolding and Ry (Th. Mortensen, tlie author); my dates are Ve — ^^/lo 

 in 1917 to 1919. 



Geographical distribution: — Besides from Denmark tlie species 

 is at present only recorded from England; probably it also occurs 

 in Sweden (see Remarks under ciliata). 



Remarks: Wood says 1. c, 145 that the species is similar to rudis; 

 from this it will, however, be known by the not large antennæ in the 

 male, the otlierwise arranged supraantennal bristles, the shorter 

 bristles on palpi and the short hairs below hind femora. It is, on the 

 other hånd, rather similar to limbiirgensis, so similar that specimens 

 may turn up, which are difficult to place; besides by the longer costal 

 cilia it will generally be recognized by the longer costa, by the fourth 

 vein being more curved at the base, by the hairs below hind femora, 

 and finally the wings are, as a rule, more brown.
