316 Phoridae. 



Geographical distribution: — Besides in Denmark occurring in 

 England and, according to specimens received from Pater Schmitz, 

 in Holland. 



Remarks: As stated by Wood 1. c. 146 Collin has examined 

 piilicaria in Meigen's collection and found that it is a species with 

 bristles on mesopleura and probably the present species; Becker 

 mentions (Abhandl. zool. bot. Geseli. Wien, I, 1901, 70) that he had 

 seen Meigen's pulicaria, and he thinks it identical with Fallén's species; 

 as, according to Collin, it is a species with bristly mesopleura, while 

 piilicaria Fall. has bare pleura (see below under pulicaria) it cannot 

 be that species and so probably may be the present species, though 

 Collin States that the costa reaches beyond the middle of the wing, 

 which is not the case in subpleuralis ; for the rest Meigen states that 

 the costa does not reach beyond the middle. Whether Becker's species 

 is the present one ot pulicaria Fall. cannot be decided without examin- 

 ing his specimens.

Male. Frons broader than high, greyish black, dull; inner bristle 

 of lower row in nearly the same height as the outer and a little nearer 

 to it than to the upper supraantennal, these six bristles placed in a 

 nearly straight transverse line; supraantennal bristles unequal, the 

 lower about as long as the upper, but weaker; the upper supraanten- 

 nals, though not near together, yet a little more approximate than the 

 inner bristles of middle row, the lower more approximate and placed 

 somewhat low down. Antennæ somewhat small, black, arista distinctly 

 pubescent. Palpi yellow or dark yellow, of ordinary size, with long 

 bristles. Thorax black, almost not shining, with brownish pubescence.

 si ender and tapering; it has sparse, very short hairs, not longer at

 hairs; ventral plate broad, dusky yellow; anal tube small, brown or 

 blackish. Legs yellowish brown; bristles on hind tibiæ distinct, but
