I possess only one immature female; according to Becker this sex is similar to the male, but sometimes paler with palpi and legs reddish yellow to reddish brown. Length about 3 to about 4 mm. In Steeger's collection there is an old, very mouldy specimen, labelled "fuscipes Macq? Zett. ;, it is a curvinervis and it is evidently the specimen mentioned by Zetterstedt 1. c. as taken by Stseger at Copenhagen on "/s; Zetterstedt writes "$?", but the spec- imen is a male. Ch. curvinervis seems to be rare in Denmark, I know only five specimens, the above mentioned old male from near Copenhagen on ^Vs (Staeger), two males taken in Ermelund on '^^U 1909 and ^"/s 1920 (the author), one male from Hillerod ^^U 1921 (Th. Mortensen), and one immature female taken at Holte ^^U 1916 in a fox's den (Rosenberg). Geographical distribution: — The species is otherwise known from England, Holland and Germany and, according to Brues (Journ. New York Ent. Soc. 16, 1908, 200), also from North America. 3.
