Records from Aust-Agder (AAy):Tvedestrand: Lyngcir, Stensciy and Buskerud(Bv): At (Strand 1898a) are all revised to B.pascuorum (Scopoli). Five specimens in Vogt'scollection, captured by Sparre Schneider 1896,were wronglyy'abelled Tromsci and may havecontributed to the misunderstanding that B.consobrinus is an Arctic species (Friese & Wagnerl9l2; Pittioni 1938, p. 49; etc.). The labels,apparently written by Friese, are a misinterpretationof the name Turtagrci, being written onthe original labels attached to adjacent specimens.Tromso is situated at 69" 40' N, i.e. about 150 kmbeyond the northern limit of the distributionof the species. B. consobrinus is well known fromTurtagrci, being situated in Southern Norway,viz. Sogn og Fjordane (SFi) : Luster: Turtagrd,and was, moreover, visited by the collector in1896 (Sparre Schneider 1898).Sweden Occurring from Jiimtland north toVirihaure in Lapland (Lu.
