Dolichopodidae, 115 



sted, and one from Funen, taken between Odense and Middelfart (H. 

 J. Hansen). No dates are given. 



Geographical distribution : — Northern and middle Europa down 

 into France and northern Italy; towards the north to middle Sweden, 

 and in Finland. 



Remarks: Stæger (Krøyer's Tidsskr. IV, 1842, 16, 5) deseribes a 

 species as ciliefemoratus Macq., taken by Jacobsen at Fjurendal near 

 Sorø in July; the specimens (or there was perhaps only one specimen) 

 of this species are not now in our collection. Stæger does not men- 

 tion any special hairiness of the front tarsi, and Zetterstedt (1. c. II, 

 550, obs. 1), to whom he had sent a specimen, declares, that there 

 was no such hairiness, and mentions other characters showing, that 

 it cannot have been ciliefemoratus Macq. It is impossible to decide 

 with certainty, which species this may have been; perhaps it could 

 be arbnstorum ; w^hat Stæger says about the wings, that the posterior 

 cross-vein lies about in the middle, so that the part of the postical 

 vein from the base to the cross-vein is scarcely twice as long as the 

 rest of the postical vein, is to some degree in accordance with arbn- 

 storum, but the statements: "alarum nervo 4to rectangulariter fracto" 

 and "alis linea costali nigra" is less in accordance. When Stæger is 

 quoted under ciliefemoratus Macq. in Kat. palåarkt. Dipt., this is con- 

 sequently incorrect.
