. Diptera Danica: genera and species of flies hitherto found in Denmark. Diptera. 28 Orthorrhapha brachycera. just at the apex are long and form a tuft, the hairs of which are curled at the apex. The posterior femora are bare beneath, they have small preapical bristles, and the posterior tibise short bristles on the various sides. Wings very broad, especially towards the apex, slightly yellowish; veins brown; first posterior cell narrowly open; the lower branch of the discal fork going straight forwards, forming. Fig. 5. Wing of S. platypterus c?. no angle with the stem, stopping a little before the margin; the postical vein a little curved at the apex; the posterior cross-vein about as long as or a little shorter than the part of the discal vein to the fork, and shorter than the last part of the postical vein. Squamulse yellow, blackish just at the tip, with a yellow fringe. Halteres yellow. Female. Head as broad as high. Epistoma broader than in the male, but however rather narrow. Palpi with a somewhat strong bristle. Front coxae with stronger bristles than in the male, and front femora with five strong, spine-like bristles below; middle metatarsi simple; hind metatarsi about as long as the two following joints. The transverse bands on abdomen generally less pronounced or al- most wanting, and the long hairs on the first segment black. Wings of the usual shape. Length 3,5—6 mm; the male is longer than the female.
