Halteres blackish. Fig. 5. Wing of P. minutissima. Female. Antennæ yellow. Front broad, occupying more than one third of the breadth of the head, shining black with an impressed line, devided above and bordering each side of the ocellar tubercle. Halteres pale, knob white. Lenght 2,5—3 mm. This species is easily distinguished by its small size and shining black colour and especially by the cubital vein not being forked, this being unique in the genus. P. minutissima seems to be very rare here, I only know a few specimens, one is taken in Mr. Drewsen's breeding house, bred from wood from Dyrehaven, and it has been bred of larvæ, taken in Bromme Plantage at Soro (Meinert). The larva is said to live under bark of Pinus and Abies. Geographical distribution: — Northern and middle Europe down into France. 2. P. tarsalis Zett. 1842. Zett. Dipt. Scand. I, 152, 2. - 1862.
