Abstract
The puparium of Chorophthalmyia brevicornis is described for the first time, based on five puparia. Larvae of the species were reared in the laboratory under semi-controlled conditions until the emergence of the adults. In addition, to the description of the puparium we provide a redescription of the imagoes of C. brevicornis.
