--_..- ---~---'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.

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.
