ANNALES MUSEI NATIONALIS HUNGABICL 
1907. 
SOME NEW EXOTIC PHORIDAE. 
By Charles T. Brues. 
(Piate Vili.) 
The following descriptions of new species of the Dipterous family 
Phoridæ are based upon a very interesting though small collection 
recently accumulated by the Hungarian National Museum. 
Through the courtesy of Dr. K. Kertész in charge of the Diptera 
in that institution, they were sent to me for identification and descrip¬ 
tion of the new species. The specimens were collected in several widely 
separated localities, some in South America, others in German East 
Africa, one in India, and the remainder in New Guinea and Australia. 
Without doubt the most interesting ones are the three wingless 
species belonging to the genera PtUiciphora, Wandolleckia and Chono- 
cephalus from East Africa. That such forms belonging to these apterous 
genera recognized from widely separated continents or from the far 
extremity of even the same continent should occur here indicates that 
a great wealth of species of these remarkable creatures must still remain 
to be discovered, probably in all parts of the World. 
The types of the new species have been deposited in the Hunga¬ 
rian National Museum.
