a little S-like curved at base and thence nearly straight. Halteres 

 yellow. 



Female. Unknown. 



Length 2,3 mm. 



A. fuscipalpis is very rare, only two specimens, both males, have 

 been taken. Ruderhegn ^Ve 1884 (H. J. Hansen) and in Jiitland at 

 Ry V? 1918 (the author). 



Geographical distribution: — Hitherto only known from Den- 

 mark with certainty, but, as mentioned in the remarks under Woodi, 

 a male, labelled "Lycksele" which I think belongs to fuscipalpis, 

 was found in Zetterstedt's collection under sordida; if my determina- 

 tion of this specimen is correct the species thus occurs in Lapland.
