. Diptera danica : genera and species of flies hitherto found in Denmark. Diptera -- Denmark. 294 Orthorrhapha brachycera. Female, Epistoina broad, whitish grey; palpi large, grey. Antennæ short, the third joint almost as broad as long, somewhat stubby, the arista twice as long as the antennæ. Scutellum steel-blue as in the male. Wings brown. Length 3,8 mm. X. audum is very rare in Denmark, we have only one specimen, a female, taken on Funen at Odense (H. J. Hansen). I take it to be auctum on account of its short antennæ, the preapical bristle on the hind temora, the number of coxal bristle
