but for the rest I find no difference. According to Zetterstedt (VIII, 

 3185) Stæger has sent him fulvimanus named as carhonaria^ I think 

 Stæger has then after the correspondence altered the name. 



C. fulvimanus is not rare in Denmark, but has, however, almost 

 only been taken in the vicinity of Copenhagen; Copenhagen in a 

 garden, Ordrup Krat, Ermelund, Dyrehaven, Bagsværd, Geel Skov, 

 Donse, and a single specimen on Lolland at Strandby, and one in 

 Jutland at Horsens. My dates are ^^/s— ^/t. It occurs in low herbage 

 at the outskirts of woods, and on more open piaces; I have taken it 

 in some numbers in Ermelund and Dyrehaven, especially on Urtica 

 and Mercurialis, and once I took it in Geel Skov flying low over a 

 sandy road, likewise in no small number. 



Geographical distribution: ^ — Northern and middle Europe down 

 into Styria; towards the north to northern Su'eden, and in Finland.
