Phoridae. 89 



"Zett. det." is A. latifemorata Beck., piimila Meig. ?, only one specimen 

 is in our collection and is labelled "Zett. det.", it is undeterminable, 

 but is not A. pulicaria Meig., crassicornis Meig., flava Meig., lutea 

 Meig. = A. sulphuripes Meig., incrassata Meig., mordellaria Fall., 

 carinijrons Zett., as remarked below under the species the male is 

 the type to the species, the female is H. agilis Meig., femorata Meig. 

 = H. flavimana Meig., aterrima Fabr., velutina Meig., a specimen in 

 our collection labelled "Zett. det." is Phora artijrons Schmitz. Accord- 

 ing to the above the number of Zetterstedt's species is 22 as one 

 species, dimidiata is the same as thoracica, while carinijrons represents 

 two species; as P. minuta Fabr. is also included among Zetterstedt's 

 species, the number of Danish species published at that time thus 

 was 22. In 1890 Meinert (Entom. Meddel. II, 212) recorded Platy- 

 phora Lubbocki (described as a new genus and species Aenigmatias 

 blattoides), the number thus being 23. In three recent papers (Vidensk. 

 Meddel, fra Dansk nat. For. 71, 1920 and 72, 1921) I added Para- 

 spiniphora Bergenstammi, thus increasing the number to 24, and 

 described 56 new species, but of these three drop into synonymy as 

 A. juscipennis Lundbk. = fungivora Wood, A. perciliata Lundbk. 

 (1920, 132 = longiciliata p. 11, nomen præoccupatum) is identical 

 with indifferens Lundbk., and pallida Lundbk. = ustulata Schmitz; 

 the number is thus 53, and accordingly the number of species known 

 from Denmark was 77. In the present work 210 species are enumerated. 



Table of Subfamilies. 



1. Species not of specially broad shape; head free, not 

 close to thorax, frons never broader than the eyes 

 together, with transverse rows of bristles (except Gyvi- 

 nophora); oral aperture large. Thorax high. Mesopleura 

 of normal shape lying on the sides. Scutellum not 

 specially broad. (Male always winged, in foreign genera 

 the females may have reduced wings or be wingless, 

 and when wingless they have no halteres, scutellum 

 and ocelli generally wanting and the eyes small so that 

 the frons is broad; the European species are all winged 

 and with ocelli and scutellum present in both sexes). . I. Phorinae. 



— Species of rather broad and more or less flat shape ; head 

 fitting close to thorax; frons broad, broader than the 

 eyes together, without bristles or with only few bristles 

 at the margins; eyes not large or small to very small; 

 oral aperture small. Thorax broad. Mesopleura of 

 curious shape with a dorsal and a ventral surface meeting
