least up to 800 to 900 rn. In Denmark it is nlostly found around
moors, while A. paleaza frequents meadows and fields (Holst l.c.),
but in Ireland the two species seem to fly in the same localities
(Bradley 1.c.).
In order to make the differences between the two species more
clear, I have figured the aedoeagus from three sides, right, left and
dorsal (figs. 1-3).

Sparre Schneider (1914) mentions an "Olethreutes n.sp.?" from
Neiden in eastern Finnmark. He captured it on July 8th 1901,
and considered it was closely related to drgyroploce bipunctana
(F.), but might be Aterpia corticana (Schiff.) (= 0. charpentiernnu
Hb.). Bang Haas who examined the specimen, told him that it

Recently I found the specimen, which was a male, in a small

(Troms~ Museum coll.). A short time after, I paid a visit to my
