Phora. 197 



Lohals "7? 1913 (the aiithor); my specimens are identified by Pater 

 Schmitz. Schmitz says about the inner bristles of third row "fast auf 

 dem gleichen Niveau wie die åussern", in my specimens the third 

 row is rather convex. 



I possess two doiibtful females, one from Holte and one from 

 Lohals; they agree with the male in the colour of the front legs. 



Geographical distribution: — Hitherto only known from Den- 

 mark and Silesia; in all only four males are known.

Male. Frons about twice as high as broad, of equal breadth, the 

 hairs short; third row of bristles not strongly convex, the inner bristles 

 somewhat smaller than the others. Thorax with the hairs dense, not 

 long. Hypopygium with the left arm of forceps by a fissure divided 

 into an upper and a lower lobe, the upper lobe somewhat large, with 

 the hind margin convex, slightly or almost not rugose and thus more 

 or less shining. Legs black, front tibiæ yellowish brown on anterior 

 and dorsal side and the base of front tarsi a little pale; front tibiæ 

 shorter than tarsi; the four last joints of the front tarsi somewhat 

 dilated, almost as broad as the end of tibia, the fourth joint longer 

 than broad; the hairs below hind femora short, the basal process 

 somewhat triangular, elongated; middle tibiæ with an anterior bristle 

 at about the upper third, and four to five dorsal bristles; hind tibiæ 

 with one anterior bristle at the upper third. Wings distinctly tinged, 

 somewhat yellowish to slightly brownish; veins brown, costa black; 

 the costa reaching to the middle or a little beyond, 1 shorter than 2, 

 about as 7 — 9; costal cilia long; fourth vein somewhat curved in its 

 first part, for the rest straight; seventh vein reaching to the margin. 



Female. Similar to the male with the usual differences; the 

 wings quite slightly tinged; middle tibiæ with two to three dorsal 

 bristles (in my specimens).

Ph. tincta is common in Denmark; Dyrehaven, Lyngby Mose, 

 Holte, on Langeland at Lohals, on Funen at Veflinge, in Jutland at 

 Hejls south of Kolding, Jelling, Ry and at Løkken, and on Bornholm
