A small collection of calypterate Diptera (Tachinidae, Sarcophagidae, Calliphoridae, Muscidae) from the Dovre mountairs, Southern Norway KNL'T ROGNES Rognes, K. 1982. A small collecdon of calypterate Diptera (Tachinidae, Sarcophagidae, Ca[- liphoridae, Muscidae) from the Dovre mountains, Southern Norway. Fauna norv. Ser. B. 29, lto-t14. Data on 23 species of calypterate Diptera collected at Kongsvoll, Southern Norway, during the summer 1980 are given. Onychogonia cervini (Bigot, 1881) (Tachinidae) is reported as new to Scandinavia; Pollenia intermedia Macquart, 1835, Protocalliphora chrysorrhoea(Nle- igen, I 826) ard Protocalliphora nuortevai Grunin, 1972 (Calliphoridae) as new to Norway. Some features of the P. nuortevai males and females are described. Knut Rognes, Stavanger lærerhøgskole, Postboks 2521 Ullandhaug, N-4001 Stavanger, Norway. During the summer 1980 John O.
