Bal- teres blackish. Female. Quite similar to the male; abdomen pointed. Length 1,5—1,7 mm. This little species resembles exilis, but is distinguished by the almost hyaline wings, the cubital vein which is curved downwards and not thin at the apex, and the distinct curve of the discai vein; also the front coxæ are not yellow, at most a little paler at the apex. D. pusilla is very rare in Denmark, only two specimens, a male and a female, are known, one from Westermann's coUection, labelled Copenhagen, and one taken on Langeland at Lohals on '"^h 1909 (the author). Geographical distribution:— Europe down into Italy; towards the north to southern Sweden. 21. Stilpon Loew. Very small species of partly dark, partly yellow colour. Head about as broad as thorax, short but high, much higher than broad. Occiput a little arched, with a few bristles above. Eyes large and high; above they are well separated in both sexes, and they do not go nearer to each other downwards, so that the frons has the same breadth above and below and the margins are parallel; below the antennæ the eyes are touching in both sexes, and the facets are here a little enlarged likewise in both sexes. The hind margin of the eyes are curved slightly forwards; the incision in the anterior margin is distinct. The eyes are densely short-haired. On the vertex. Vig. 118. Antenna of S. graminum. x 100, there are three ocelli and a couple (four) of ocellar bristles. The an- tennæ are ins
