276 Phoridae. 



hind margins. Hypopygium of medium size, black or reddish black, 

 at the lower anterior corners it has a bunch of hairs, directed down- 

 wards, much as in pectoralis^ and at the lower posterior corners are 

 some hairs; anal tube of medium size, somewhat high, dark brownish. 

 Legs yellowish or the posterior more yellowish brown to brownish; 

 front tarsi somewhat, but not much broadened ; hind f emora somewhat 

 broad, with a few long hairs below the basal part; bristles on hind 

 tibiæ distinct, but fine. Wings slightly yellowish, veins brown; costa 

 about 0,43 of the wing-length, costal divisions about as 3 — 1 — 1; 

 costal cilia moderately short; first vein rather curved and thus the 

 costal cell somewhat deep; angle at fork of medium size; fourth vein 

 evenly curved in the whole length, a little obliterated at the base. 

 Halteres black. 



Fernale. Unknown. 



Length 1,5 mm. 



I have compared my specimens with Schmitz' type, and I think 

 the determination beyond doubt; in one character my specimens 

 deviate, viz as regards the brown antennæ, this is, however, I think, 

 of no consequence; the hairs below hind femora and those on hypo- 

 pygium, both not mentioned by Schmitz, are present in the type. — 

 If the front tarsi and shorter costal cilia are not noted the species 

 is rather like pectoralis, but the pale palpi and legs and the less distant 

 supraantennals distinguish it. 



A. manualis is rare in Denmark, I have taken two specimens, 

 both males, in Ry Nørreskov on 'V? 1918; they were taken in grass 

 together with pectoralis. 



Geographical distribution: — Hitherto known from Denamark 

 and Holland.

Male. Frons nearly 1^/2 times broader than high, black, slightly 

 greyish and quite slightly shining; inner bristle of lower row a little 

 below the outer and very distant from it, nearer the middle line than 

 the margin; upper supraantennals not large, approximate, lower supra- 

 antennals very small. Antennæ rather small, brown, arista not long, 

 slightly pubescent. Palpi brown, of ordinary size, the bristles not 

 long. Thorax black, a little shining, with brownish pubescence. Meso-
