Campylochaeta. 361 



C. inepta is not rare in Denmark; Tisvilde; on Lolland at Maribo 

 and in Kældskov; in Jutland at Hørupliav, Laven, Hadsten, Skør- 

 ping, Sæby, and on Læsø; the dates are from April to August. It is 

 known parasitic on Hyloicus pinastri^ Pygaera ciirtula, Drepana 

 falcataria, Deilinia pusaria and exanthemata, Ematurga atomaria, 

 Larentia corylata and galiata, Tephroclystia indigata and the non 

 Danish Lithosia unita. I have seen specimens from Hyloicus, Drepana, 

 Deilinia pusaria and exanthemata, Tephroclystia, and Eurymene dola- 

 braria, the latter hitherto not known as host for it; the specimen 

 from Hyloicus came on ^/g. Nielsen has (Vidensk. Medd. fra Dansk 

 naturh. -Foren. 68, 1917, 28) treated its biology {Frivaldzkia distincta). 

 He got it bred from most of the above hosts, from H. pinastri always 

 from qiiite young larvæ; in the host only one larva develops; it bores 

 out of the host and pupates in the ground, where it hibernates. The 

 imagines came from the end of March to ^'/g. 



Geographical distribution: - — Europe down into France; not 

 known north of Denmark. 



Remarks: 1 have seen specimens of T. longicornis Fall. from 

 Zetterstedt's collection; it is, as well known, another species for 

 which Stein has created the new genus Latigena.

Male. Frons above about as broad as the eye, very protruding, 

 eye-margins rather diverging downwards; cheeks very broad; jowls 

 more than half as broad as the eye is high. Orbits not narrow, blackish 

 grey; cheeks dark, in certain views greyish silvery, especially below; 

 jowls grey; frontal stripe velvet black or dark brown. Ocellar bristles 

 directed upwards and outwards. Frontal bristles few in number, 

 almost not descending on the cheeks. Vibrissæ numerous and some- 

 what strong, smaller upwards. Orbits with black hairs, descending 

 down to the lower part of the cheeks; jowls black-haired and
