The legs are yellow, front coxae slightly greyish at the base, posterior coxae grey with yellow apex, hind coxae more yellowish; anterior tarsi with the very apex of metatarsus and the four following joints blackish; hind tibiae very slightly brownish towards the end, hind tarsi blackish. The legs have short, black hairs; posterior femora wMth one preapical bristle; front tibiae 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 tibiae with two dorsal row^s of bristles, and a small ventral bristle below^ the middle; hind tibiae likewise with two dorsal rows, and wuth a ventral row of small bristles. Wings somewhat brownish; veins brownish black; discal vein with a distinct bend, lying near the cross-vein. Squamulae yellow, with a yellow fringe. Halteres yellow. Female. Unknown. Length about 4 mm. This species is very nearly related to crinipes^ but easily distin- guished by the front legs and the hypopygium. H. crinicauda exists only in one specimen, a male, taken by Staeger many years ago, probably at Ordrup (but no locality is given). It is the same specimen which was sent to Zetterstedt and
