130 Orthorrhapha brachycera. 



The pupa has a length of 25 — 27 mm. 



This species, which is intermediate in size belween bovinus and 

 the nieriopledes-specles, is easily recognised by the eyes, the daric 

 antennæ and also by the colour. 



T. autwnnalis is not an uncommon species here, though not as fre- 

 (|uent as the preceding ene ; vicinity of Copenhagen, Frederiiisdal, Furesø, 

 Ruderhegn, Hillerød, Jægerspris, at Køge, Vemmetofte near Faxe and 

 at Vordingborg; Lolland at Maribo; Langeland at Tranekær; Funen 

 at Langensø, Odense and Lundeborg on the easteni coast, and Jutland 

 at Horsens, Silkeborg and Hald. I have records of it from *h to '/», 

 the first date is, I think, exceptionally early. Pupæ have been taken 

 in Ruderhegn in moist loam. and at Furesø; they developed from 



'•'^'6 to »/t. 



Geographical distribution: — All Europe to northern Sweden, in 

 Syria and in northern Africa.
