170 Phoridae. 



cilia relatively not short; third vein with fme hairs in the whole 

 length; fourth vein not much curved at base, for the rest nearly 

 straight, and fifth vein rather parallel to the fourth. H alteres black. 



Female. Quite similar to the male; arista a little more pubescent; 

 the last exposed abdominal segment (8) long, narrow and reddish; 

 last joint of front tarsi not enlarged and hind tarsi not thickened, 



Length 2,5—3 mm. 



H. carinijrons is not rare in Denmark and often taken in great 

 numbers; Ermelund (the aiithor), Holte (Th. Mortensen), Geel Skov, 

 Bogø south of Sealand, on Langeland at Lohals (the author), on Funen 

 at Odense (H. J. Hansen), in Jutland at Hejls south of Kolding, 

 Himmelbjerget (the author), Fussingø (Schlick), Jelling and at 

 Nørresundby (the author); the dates are ^^U — ^Vs. It occurs on 

 bushes in woods and along roads; at Hejls I took it on ^7? in great 

 number, it swarmed tliere numerously on Corylus. 



Geographical distribution: — Northern Europe, Russia and 

 down to Silesia; towards the north to southern Sweden and in Norway 

 and Finland; it seems thus to be a somewhat northern species. 



Remarks: The types of carinijrons Zett. are in our collection, 

 and I have examined them; they are the male and female mentioned 

 by Zetterstedt 1. c. as sent him from Stæger. As already stated by 

 Becker 1. c. 39 and 74 the male is the type, as it is a good species, 

 while the female is agilis Meig. Becker had not seen these types, but 

 he must have found both sexes in Zetterstedt's collection, though 

 Zetterstedt says tliat he had taken it only once "semel etiam a 

 me inventa"; he must then have taken, as he thought, both sexes, 

 and it is curious that in both cases, both as regards the Danish spec- 

 imens and his own specimens, he made the same error in giving the 

 carinijrons male an agilis as female, probably he was misled by 

 receiving the specimens from Stæger as male and female of one species; 

 it is also Strange that, in spite of the name, he has not one word 

 about the shape of the frons; as Zetterstedt says: "Stæg. in litt." 

 the name is due to Stæger. — Both Becker and Wood say that the 

 third vein (second vein) is bare, but this is not correct, as it is quite 

 distinctly hairy.
