284 Phoridae. 



bristles on hind tibiæ (12—13) distinct, but small. Wings more or 

 less yellowish or brownish tinged, veins brown; costa reaching nearly 

 to the middle (0,48), costal divisions about as 4 — 2 — 1; costal cilia 

 long; angle at fork not aciite; foiirth vein evenly curved in the whole 

 length, only slightly more in its first part. Halteres black. 



Female. Similar; antennæ a bttle smaller; front metatarsi nearly 

 as in the male, a little less oval, hind femora likewise with somewhat 

 long hairs below. 



Length 1,3 — 1,5 mm. 



Remarks: I have compared my specimens with specimens from 

 Wood, and I have also seen typical specimens of carpalis from Pater 

 Schmitz; in Wood's description there are some errors, especially 

 the colour of the wings and of the front tarsi and also the size are not 

 correct; this was the cause why Schmitz failed to recognize the species; 

 in a letter to me from Vio 1919,- Schmitz when he had seen Wood's 

 specimens, has already declared the two species to be identical. — 

 Both Wood and Schmitz mention that the species sometimes has no 

 bristles on mesopleura; siich specimens I have never seen. 



A. conjormis is somewhat common in Denmark; at Copenhagen 

 in Søndermarken, in Ermelimd, Dyrehaven, Ørholm, Holte (the 

 author), Geel Skov (Th. Mortensen) and in Jutland at Jelling (the 

 author) and at Sæby (H. J. Hansen); my dates are Vs — ^V?, it is most 

 common on the earlier dates and is thus a somewhat early species; 

 it was taken for the first time in 1881. I have especially taken it with 

 the net in grass on the ground in woods, it was also several times 

 taken on leaves of Salix. 



Geographical distribution: — Besides in Denmark occurring in 

 England, Holland and Germany.

Male. Frons somewhat broader than high, black, dull; inner 

 bristle of lower row below the outer and nearer to it than to the

 only slightly more approximate. Antennæ black, of ordinary size, 

 with ordinary or fair-sized bristles. Thorax black, dull or nearly so, 

 with brown pubescence. Mesopleura with delicate, uniform bristles.
