1. P. maculata Meig. and notata Zett. 
In the first months of 1918 I got from Mr. L. Jørgensen, 
Strandby on Lolland on my request a large Material of shells of 
Helix hortensis , nemoralis and lapicida , from which I in March, 
among other species bred a number of a species of which the 
imago was easily determined as P. maculata Meig. In 1919 in 
February and March I bred the species again in great number 
from shells of the above named species of Helix , likewise sent 
me from Mr. Jørgensen and from the same locality, and also from 
Helix pomatia collected in January in Ermelund and given to me 
by Mr. Kryger. As said the imago of the species was easily deter¬ 
mined as the well known maculata Meig.; but as I examined the 
puparia, these were found not to agree with the descriptions of 
the puparium of maculata given by Schmitz (Biol. Zentralbl. 37, 
1917, 40) and by Keilin of his Phora Nr. 1 (Buil. Sc. France Bel- 
gique (7) 45, 1911, 57, PI. III, fig. 33, PI. IV, fig. 54) which ac- 
cording to Schmitz is the puparium of maculata. As I did not 
know 'rnyself the puparium of maculata , I at first thought it pos- 
sible, that I had to do with variations, and I then sent the pu¬ 
parium to Dr. Schmitz in Sittard, who kindly examined it and 
communicated to me, that it could not belong to maculata ; I there- 
fore sent him one of the bred imagines, and after having exam-
