New species of Aphiochaeta from Denmark. 
(Phoridae. Diptera.) 
By 
Will. Lundbeck. 
kor the use of the following descriptions I shall note, that I 
measure the length of the costa in the same way as does Schmitz 
in „Die Phoriden von Hollåndisch Limburg“ viz from the long bristle 
or hair on the base of the costa. Wood has never said in what 
a way he measured, but it seems, to judge from his descriptions, 
that he has measured similarly, perhaps in a general way from 
the base of the wing. The costal divisions on the other hånd are 
measured from the humeral cross-vein. 
Mesopleura bristly with one or two bristles longer than the others. 
Costa long, fringe short. 
1. A. proxima n. sp. g . 
A species near radis Wood and pseadociliata Strobl, but be- 
sides by other characters distinguished by another arrangement 
of the frontal bristles and a shorter costa. 
Male. Frons greyish black, duli, not much broader than long; 
the inner bristle of the lower row much below the outer and rather 
near the eye-margin; supraantennals large and equal, the upper 
not fully so distant as the inner bristles of the middle row and 
their distance from the margin nearly twice the distance from the 
middle line; lower supraantennals considerably longer downwards 
and somewhat more approximated. Antennæ not large, black or 
brownish black, arista distinctly pubescent. Palpi yellow. Thorax 
black; mesopleura with bristles the lowermost of which is longer 
than the rest, but not much longer. Scutellum with two bristles. 
Abdomen black. Hypopygium greyish, somewhat large, as broad
