Paraspiniphora. 109 



(Biol. Zentralbl. 1. c), somewhat apart by the hairy mesopleura with 

 a long bristle, and the arrangement of the hairs on hind tibiæ; these 

 species bear by the said characters some resemblance to Hypocera^ 

 also the hypopygium is a Httle diflerent, and it was seen that the 

 puparium of Boheinanni (for erythronota it is not known) is different 

 from that of the other species; moreover there seems also to be ana- 

 tomicai characters separating these species, for while Schmitz (Anat. 

 Anz. 49, 1916, 333 and Biol. Zentralbl. 1. c. 32) for Paraspiniphora 

 gives three Malpighian tubes, he has later on communicated to me 

 that in Bohemanni he fmds four vasa Malpighi. At present I shall, 

 however, leave the genus undivided. 



Of the genus 9 or 10 species are known from the palæarctic 

 region 5 of which have been found in Denmark.
