Pipunculus. 43 



a male and two females, taken on Lolland at Faaborg and on Funen 

 at Langensø (Schlick), the latter specimen taken on ^Ve 1871. The 

 male was hitherto not known. 



Geographical distribution: — Besides from Denmark only known 

 from Zermatt and the Pyrenees. 



This species stands a little apart in group 3 because of its dark 

 legs with no ciliation behind femora; it seems to be rather like hal- 

 teratus, as described by Verrall.
