Hab. — Mt. Yule, Healesville, Victoria, Feb. 20, 1915, on Eucalyptus 

 calophylla rosea, 3 9,1 d 1 . (R. Kelly; Brit. Museum.) Very close 

 to E. hypochroma, from which the female is known by the dark lower 

 part of clypeus and the more broadly light apex of abdomen. A! 

 very close to E. perpusilla Ckll., but larger, with more lighl color on 

 abdomen. It may be better regarded as a subspecies of E. perpusillaj 

 but it appears quite distinct. 



Euryglossina perpusilla var. nana a. v. 



9. Length hardly 3 mm.; abdomen wholly dark above, yellow 

 beneath; clypeus and supraclypeal area wholly black (as in E. 

 cockerelli Perkins) ; linear lateral face-marks poorly developed or 

 absent; stigma dilute sepia. 



Hob.— Kalamunda, S. W. Australia, Feb. 9-28, 1914, 2 9 ; also 

 one March 1-11. 1914, 850 ft. {R. E. Turner; Brit, Museum). Com- 

 pared with typical E. perpusilla, this looks distinct; but the Queens- 

 land perpusilla are so variable that it seems impossible to distinguish 

 more than a variety. Some Mackay females lack the supraclypeal 

 band. 



Binghamiella antipodes insularis (Ckll.). 



Mr. Littler has taken both sexes of Binghamiella at George Town, 

 Tasmania, March, 1915. The males agree with my B. insularis; 

 the females are what has passed as B. antipodes from Tasmania, but 

 have the same essential distinctive characters as the males. There 

 is sufficient reason for regarding the Tasmanian bee as a subspecies, 

 but hardly a species. 



Euryglossa depressa sparsa subsp. n. 



9 . Differs from E. depressa Sm. by the very sparsely though 

 very strongly punctured scutellum, and the anterior middle of meso- 

 thorax with scattered irregular punctures, instead of very numerous 

 fine ones; also by having the nagellum ferruginous beneath, though 

 this is variable, and sometimes very obscure. It is readily known 

 from E. subsericea Ckll. by the darker, brown-stained wings, facial 

 quadrangle shorter, etc. The mesothorax and scutellum are much 

 more sparsely punctured than in E. nigrocoerulea Ckll. 



Hab. — Mt. Yule, Healesville. Victoria, Feb. 20, 1915, on Eucalyptus 

 calophylla rosea — (R. Kelly; Brit. Museum). 3 9. Smith- 

 description is insufficient to indicate which is the typical race of 

 E. depressa, but I have taken as such the form which appears to be 

 common in Victoria.
