88 Phoridae. 



is will be seen from the faet that Brues in 1903 gave the number 

 to about 125. 



Of Hymenoptera parasitic on Phorids I know the following: In 

 the catalogue of Dalla Torre are mentioned Aspilota fuscicornis Hal. 

 bred from Conicera dauci {atra), this must be the Braconid mentioned 

 by Reinhard from this species; Orthostigma pumilum Nees from 

 Aphiochaeta nifipes, Opiiis leptostigma Wesm. from Phora tuberorum 

 Rend. which is a nomen nudum, and Eucoela zigzag Riley from the 

 American Aphiochaeta aletiae; from Paraspiniphora maculata (helici- 

 vora) Aneurhynchus phorivora Kieff. is bred (André, Spec. Hymm. 

 Eur. X, 1911, 822). Schmitz mentions (Biol. Zentralbl. 37, 1917, 33) 

 a Braconid from species of Paraspiniphora in snail-shells and states 

 that the infested pupae are as a rule, but not always, to be known 

 by the faet that the anterior spiracular tubes do not protrude. I have 

 seen Phygadeuon flavicans Thoms, bred from a Chaetoneurophora- 

 pupa, probably thoracica, one in each pupa (Rosenberg) and I have 

 myself bred from Paraspiniphora notata Aneurhynchus lativentris 

 Kieff., one in each pupa, from P. Bergenstammi Loxotropa sp., likewise 

 one in each pupa, and from a material of snails containing pupæ of 

 the named two species I bred Hemiteles sp., Pezomachus sp. and 

 Pleuropachys costalis Dalm.; from Dohrniphora Oldenbergi I have 

 bred Loxotropa crassicornis Kieff., one in each pupa, and from Aphio- 

 chaeta rata Aspilota sp., hkewise one in each pupa. 



Phoridae earlier recorded from Denmark: — The first Phorid 

 mentioned from Denmark is Empis minuta Fabr. which is described 

 in 1787 in Mantiss. Ins. II, 365, 11 and again mentioned in Ent. 

 Syst. and Syst. Antl., and this is, I think, upon the whole the first 

 Phorid described; the species is identical with Parastenophora puberi- 

 cornis Malloch as shown below under this species, and it thus gets 

 the name Parastenophora minuta and it is the sole Phorid mentioned 

 by Fabricius from Denmark. Zetterstedt mentions in Dipt. Scand. 

 VIII, 1848 22 species: Gymnophora arcuata Meig. and under Tri- 

 neura: thoracica Meig., dimidiata Meig. = thoracica Meig., notata Zett., 

 urbana Meig. = caliginosa Meig., rufipes Meig., pulicaria FalL, the 

 specimen in our collection labelled "Zett. det." is A. Woodi n. sp., 

 humeralis Zett., ruficornis Meig., there is only one specimen in our 

 collection and it is labelled "Zett. det.", it is Parastenophora minuta 

 Fabr., opaca Meig., fuscipes Macq?, only one specimen is in our 

 collection, the one described by Zetterstedt, it is Chaetoneurophora 

 curvinervis Beck., ciliata Zett., the specimen in our collection labelled
