than in caesar; hypopygium densely fme-haired with black hairs, tuft- 



like and brown below, only a few stronger hairs above. Upper forceps 



aboiit as in caesar but less broad at base and with the dorsal margin 



not curved inwards ; arms of lower 



forceps somewhat broad, blade- 



shaped and somewhat swoln at 



base; they are straight, rounded at 



end, not much chitinised, brownish 



and densely hairy. Wings hyahne 



or sHghtly tinged (aecording to 



Kramer brownish yellow, but not 



in my specimens) ; squamular piece 



at base of costa black; subcostal 



sclerite with bristles. Squamulæ 



whitish. Halteres yellow. 



Female. I do not know the 

 female and it has not been de- 

 scribed; at present it will, I think, 

 not be distinguishable from caesar. 



Length 7 — 8,5 mm. 



L. flavipennis seems to be rare 

 in Denmark, I know only three 

 specimens, Copenhagen, Ermelund and Jyderup, taken in May and 

 June (the author). — As Kramer remarks the male may be known 

 from caesar already by the much smaller hypopygium. 



Geographical distribution: — Europe down into Italy; not 

 known north of Denmark. 



Lucilia longilohata Pand. with somewhat broad frons, three 

 postsutural acrostichals, bristles on third abdominal segment and 

 a long, thin forceps, and pilosiventris Kram. with broad frons, three 

 postsutural acrostichals and long, dense, tufted hairs on venter have 

 hitherto not been found in Denmark, but will probably be found to 

 occur here as they have been found in Sweden.
