BRUES: FOSSIL PHORIDAE IN BALTIC AMBER 419 Type female, No. 8106, Two males (Nos. 8107, 8108), I think, are undoubtedly correctly associated. There is also a piece of amber, containing a group of three males which are probably the same, although they cannot be completely examined. Borgmeier There is one species in the present amber collection which is refer- able to this genus. The Miocene Phora laminaruvi Brues (1908) from the Florissant shales has been tentatively placed in this genus by Schmitz on account of its similarity to Phora multiseriata Aldrich. The latter belongs, however, to the very similar genus Chsetopleuro- phora, as it possesses a single large mesopleural bristle, and such maybe true of the Florissant form, although this is not preserved in the type and only known specimen. Ch^tocnemistoptera electra spec. nov. (Fig. 2) cf. Length mm. Color, as preserved very dark; wings slightly tinged with brownish, the veins piceous. Front rather wide, appar- ently wider than high, although not visible in direct frontal Fig. 2. Chsetocnemistoptera electra sp. nov., wing of male. Frontal bristles very stout and quite long; post-antennals absent (possibly broken off or very short, as the surface is clouded at this point); lowest frontal row of four equidistant bristles, the median pair set very much lower than the lateral ones; middle row also with the median pair of bristles considerably lower than the lateral ones. Antennse slightly larger than usual, with a bare arista that extends.
