elongated triangular. Anterior claspers thin, posterior more robust, 

 shorter, straight with a ventrally curved apical hook. Penis much 

 longer than forceps, with the curved end short and truncate; lobes 

 indistinct but at apex two pairs of styUform apophyses, issuing near 

 each other, the proximal curved towards the end of penis, the distal 

 generally forwards so that they are crossing. Legs with posterior 

 femora fringed below; middle tibiæ more or less fringed on postero- 

 ventral side in apical part ; hind tibiæ fringed ventrally on both sides ; 

 middle femora without comb; hind femora with no anteroventral 

 row of bristles. Wings somewhat tinged, especially towards base; 

 costal segment 3 shorter than 5; subcostal vein bare; a relatively

S. pumila seems somewhat rare in Denmark, I have taken it 

 only at Lyngby, in Geel Skov, and in Jutland at Skanderborg; the 

 dates are from in June to ^j^; it was flying low over the ground and 

 resting on leaves of Tussilago. 



Geographical distribution: — All Europe; towards the north 

 to middle Sweden. 



Remarks: Bottcher says that third (his second) abdominal 

 segment is bare, but it may have a pair of small or even a little larger 

 marginal bristles.
