very short, 0,30 of the wing-length ; costal divisions aboiit as 23 — 7 — 5; 

 outer branch of the fork a little angulated; costal cilia short; foiirth 

 vein very sHghtly curved, most towards the apex, but almost straight

I have seen a female type from Pater Schmitz; in my specimen 

 the wings are more tinged and the lower supraantennals relatively 

 larger. The species is nearly related to pygmaea, but is distinguished 

 by the short costa, and the female by the normal third abdominal 

 tergite. 



A. Berndseni is rare in Denmark, only one specimen, a female, 

 has been taken, Ermehmd ^"A 1918 (the author). 



Geographical distribution: — Hitherto known from Denmark 

 and Holland.
