The legs are yellow, front coxæ slightly greyish at the base, posterior coxæ grey with yellow apex, hind coxæ more yellowish; anterior tarsi with the very apex of metatarsus and the four foUowing joints blackish; hind tibiæ very slightly brownish towards the end, hind tarsi blackish. The legs have short, black hairs; posterior femora with one preapical bristle; front tibiæ with some bristles above, none below, front metatarsi with a row of short, bristly hairs on the antero-ventral side, longest towards the base, and with a small hair on the postero-ventral side near the base; middle tibiæ with two dorsal rows of bristles, and a small ventral bristle below the middle; hind tibiæ likewise with two dorsal rows, and with a ventral row of small bristles. Wings somewhat brownish; veins brownish black; discai vein with a distinct bend, lying near the cross-vein, Squamulæ yellow, with a yellow fringe. Halteres yellow, Female. Unknown. Length about 4 mm. This species is very nearly related to cri^iipes, but easily distin- guished by the front legs and the hypopygium, H. crinicauda exists only in one specimen, a male, taken by Stæger many years ago, probably at Ordrup (but no locality is given). It is the same specimen which was sent to Zet
