Abstract
A species of Brachypeza Winnertz, 1863, B. obscura Winnertz, 1863 (fig. 1.) was recorded new to Norway in 2009 (Søli et al. 2009). The species belongs to the subgenus Paracordyla Tuomikoski, 1966. This subgenus was erected by Tuomikoski (1966) for this single species in his treatise of the tribe Exechiini. Tuomikoski also mentioned one undescribed species from Burma, which is still awaiting description.
