P. fuscipes is somewhat common in Denmark, Sondermarken (the author), Utterslev Mose (Schlick), Lerso, Charlottenlund (Stseger), Dyrehaven (H. J. Hansen), Geel Skov, Sollerod (the author); the dates are U into July; a pupa was taken in Utterslev Mose in flood refuse in spring, the imago came in May (Schlick). Fig. 9. Wing of P. fuscipes . Geographical distribution: — Europe down into Spain and Italy, towards the north to middle Sweden. Remarks: Some words about the synonymy are needed, as it would seem from the literature that the two sexes of fuscipes Zett. were not one species; Becker says (Wien. Ent. Zeitg. XXI, 1902, 16) that of the types of Meigen to pratorum the male is fascipes Zett. (vide Corrigenda p. 74) the female fuscipes Zett., but he does not say, whether the male and female belong to one species; Girschner (ibid. XXI, 1902, 123) quotes under pratorum Fall, emend. Meig. only fascipes Zett., so that he evidently considered them as different, as also declared by Verrall, but in 1915 and 1921 Becker (ibid. XXXIV, 65 et XXXVIII, 166) cites fuscipes Zett. ? under pratorum Fall, emend. Meig., so that he seems to be of opinion that Meigen's types belonged to one species. Now it is beyond doubt that male and female of fuscipes Zett. are one species; as Zetterstedt says ''Stseg. in litt.' the name is originally due to Stseger, and in our collect
