This characteristic little species is nearly related to gregaria, but 

 well distinguished already by the wings. As I possess only the female 

 the above description of the male is drawn from a Dutch specimen, 

 kindly sent me from Pater Schmitz, 



A. siibnudipennis is rare in Denmark; Ermelund ^"/e 1918 (the 

 author), Holte Vs 1920 (Th. Mortensen) and in Jiitland at Hejls 

 south of Kolding ^Vt 1919 and at Mou at the east end of Limfjorden 

 ^"/t 1921 (the auhtor), in all four specimens, all females; the specimen 

 from Mou was taken on the shore. 



Geographical distribution: — Besides from Denmark known from 

 Holland and Germany.
