( Short communications)FOUR SPECIES OF TIPULIDAE (DIPTERA)NEW TO NORWAYTROND HOFSVANGTipula (Lunatipula) alpina Loew, 1873, Tipula(Savtshenkia) staegeri Nielsen, 1922, Tipula(Savtshenkia) benesignata Mannheims, 1954 andTipula (Pterelachisus) middendorffi Lackschewitz,1936 are reported from Norway for the firsttime.Trond Hofsvang, Norwegian Plant Protection Institute,Department of Entomology, P.O. Box 70,N-1432 As-NLH, Norway.One male of Tipula (Lunatipula) alpina Loew,1873 was collected in oak woods 4 July 1978 inAAY Grimstad: Hesnes (EIS 6). According toTjeder (1955) the species is reported from SkAneand Bohuslan in Sweden.In Zoological Museum, University of Bergen,are two males and one female of Tipula (Savtshenkia)staegeri Nielsen, 1922 from HOY Bergen;Fana (EIS 30), 26 September 1965 (leg. A. L0ken,det. B. Tjeder). This material have not previouslybeen published, and the species is new to the Norwegianfauna. In Sweden this species is collectedin SkAne and Vastergotland (Tjeder 1955).One male of Tipula (Savtshenkia) benesignataMannheims, 1954 was caught in a suburb gardenin AK Oslo: Munkerud (EIS 28) 1 September1985. T. (S.) benesignata is known from Dalarne,Lycksele Lappmark, Lule Lappmark and TorneLappmark in Sweden (Tjeder 1974).In the surroundings of Kongsvoll in the Dovrefjellmountains (STI Oppdal: Kongsvoll, EIS 79)an extensive investigation ofthe insect fauna havebeen carried out. Several males of Tipula (Pterelachisus)middendorffi Lackschewitz, 1936 werecaught in Malaise traps (leg. J.O. Solem). Moreinformation on distribution, phenology etc. willbe published elsewhere (Hofsvang et al. 1987).

--_..- ---~---'Aug. 1977, a male Apatania stigmatella, whichdiffered from the normal A. stigmatella males, wasfound. This odd specimen was also normal looking,except for the genitalia. Here, the clasperswere missing (Fig. I). The claspers are quite conspicuousin A. stigmatella males, but in this specimen,they had never developed. At the first sightthe specimen looked as a new species, but morethorough examination revealed that the remainingparts of the genitalia agreed with those ofa normalA. stigmatella male. I have seen several hundredsof males from this area, and this was the onlyanomalous A. stigmatella found. Normal lookingmales of A. stigmatella are figured in e.g. Malicky(1983) and Tobias & Tobias (1981).ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSI am indebted to J.O.

Solem, colI.Zoological Museum ofTrondheim, two females ofthe striking species Agriotypus armatus Curtis,1832 were found.I have not seen any record of this species fromNorway, but it has been found in e.g. Sweden andEngland (Schmiedeknecht 1930) and could be expectedhere also.Only this species is known from Europe withinthe subfamily Agriotypinae, which by Schmiedeknecht(1930) was regarded as a separate family.The larva parasites larvae of Trichoptera living inmountain rivers (Schmiedeknecht 1930).Fauna norv. Ser. B. 34: Oslo 1987.One a and I i.? were found at Grimestad (VE:Tj0me)(south-eastern Norway)Ju1y 11, 1985 (A.Fjeldsa colI.) in a very dry locality dominated byopen bedrock (dark eruptives) and grasses. Presentwere also some Viscaria vulgaris, Rumex acetocellaand Silene maritima.The systematic status of this species is uncertain(see Locket et al. 1974, Brignoli 1983) and it isdifficult to distinguish from T. saxicola (O.P.Cambridge) and T. affinis Kulczynski. The presentspecimens have been identified according todescriptions given by Wiehle (1960) and Locket etal. (1974). Especially the dark coloured tibiae 1+11 have been a decicive character. The species isnew to Norway, and is probably the only species ofthe genus occurring in the nordic countries, whereit seems to be restricted to coastal areas.REFERENCESBrignoli, P.M. 1983.
