Fringes of sternites predominantly greyishwhite.Otherwise black.Variation. Black hairs of head more or lessreplaced by yellowish-brown ones . Lateral blackpatches of T, more or less pronounced, occasionallythe hairs of T2 entirely black or entirelyyellowish-brown. Hairs of episternum (except foryellowish-brown pile on the dorsal part), andTn-u, are individually ranging from entirely greyish-whiteor pale greyish-yellow to entirely black.Corbicular fringes with an admixture of yellowish-brownhairs or tiPPed so.MaleMorphological characters. Malar space usuallyexceeding twice the distal width and about aslong as Ar* 4+ b. Longest hairs in pile of faceabout as long as antennal scape or longer. Hindtibia with bristles exceeding the distal decumbenthairs of margin; longest hairs in posterior fringesabout twice the greatest width of the segmentor nearly. Hind basitarsus slightly or not widerdistally than at base. St, and genitalia (Figs.a0A-B); lateral depressive of gonocoxite moderate(Fig. 40C); gonostylus larger than in B.hortorum, its posterior margin, seen from behind,being almost straight; boot-like apex of volsella(Fig. 40D) varying in shape but usually more or\ less different from that of B. hortorum (Fig. 39F).Coat shaggy.

Dorsumof thorax, at most dorsal third of episternum,Distribution (Fig. 73)Norway. Widely distributed inland between59' and 68'30' N. Only north of Trondheimsfiord,Tr-, (except laterally) with yellowish-browni.e. north of 63" 30' N, reaching the extremehairs; remainder of thorax, hind femur, Tn-u coast. In Southern Norway confined to the easternsubalpine elevation along the mountain chainand adjacent forest zofle, and occasionallyreaching the lower alpine belt. Occurring in afew canyons west of the watershed divide, locallyreaching sea level in the inner pafi of severalfjords which are the western limit of the distribution.Moreover, extending throughout thesoutheastern lowlands where the population is,however, decreasing, probably because of intensivecultivation and industrialization in the lastdecades. ,8. consobrinus and the main food plantAconitum septentrionale are locally eradicatedand the southern limit of their distribution isconsequently on the retreat. Locally frequent.In Southern Norway recorded to 1300 m s.m.Biotopes: Aconitum biotopes and adjacentfields.A total of about 770 specimens was examined.List of localities.
