1923] Two New Species of Phoridoe from Baltic Amber 61 
Similar in size to Dohrniphora ahlata Meunier, but the 
antennae are small and the apical half of the anterior tibia bears 
no bristles, while the apical swelling on the third wing-vein des- 
cribed above will serve to distinguish it immediately. 
Dohrniphora loewi sp. nov. 
d'. Length 2 mm. Apparently brown in color, with the legs 
light brown; head and abdomen above more or less blackened. 
All frontal bristles reclinate, strong, but not greatly lengthened. 
Post-ocular cilia small and densely placed. Antennse rather 
small, the third joint globular, almost bare, and only a little 
shorter than the width of the head. Palpi clouded, their apical 
bristles which are clearly to be seen, however, are strongly de- 
veloped and densely placed. Front apparently at least as high 
as broad, perhaps higher, slightly convex. Cheeks each with a 
single downwardly directed bristle. Mesonotum bearing only 
a few fine hairs, as long as wide and strongly convex, on each 
side with four marginal bristles, of which two lie before and two 
behind the insertion of the wing; only one pair of dorsocentral 
macrochsetse present. Scutellum with four marginal bristles 
of which the anterior pair are slightly weaker. Abdomen one- 
third longer than the head and thorax together, uniformly nar- 
rowed toward the tip; second and sixth segments elongated, the 
second without tufts of hairs at the sides. Seventh segment, 
seen from above, furnished with a row of short bristles along the 
posterior margin. Hypopygium small. Legs not thickened; 
the hind femora broadened, but without distinct hairs on the 
lower margin. Front tarsi distinctly thickened, the second and 
third joints each quadrate; front tibiae with a single large bristle 
on the outer side just before the middle. Middle tibiae with a 
pair of strong bristles at the basal third; hind tibiae each with 
only a single bristle at the basal third and with two apical spurs 
of which the inner one is much more strongly developed. Wings 
apparently entirely hyaline; costal vein only one third as long 
as the wing, thickened toward the apex, with very fine cilia 
that are visible only under considerable magnification; first 
vein very long, its tip three times as far from the mediastinal
