Euryglossa carnosa n. sp. 



9 . Length 8 mm., broad and robust; head and thorax black, 

 with the following parts bright chrome-yellow; clypeus (except 

 ferruginous lower edge, and two black spots on upper part), a small 

 mark on lower part of supraclypeal area, lateral face-marks (filling 

 space between clypeus and eye, and continued upward as large 

 broad lobes, bending away from orbit, on upper part of front), 

 tubercles and broad upper border of prothorax (broadly notched by 

 black above in middle), small squarish mark behind tubercles, 

 broad anterior lateral corners of mesothorax, scutellum (except 

 two black marks on anterior margin), and postscutellum. Labrum 

 red; mandibles slender, bidentate, yellow at base, red beyond, black 

 at apex; maxillary palpi long and slender; face broad; scape entirely 

 bright yellow; flagellum short, bright ferruginous beneath; front 

 and mesothorax dullish, sparsely punctured; tegulse and plate at 

 base of wings bright yellow; wings clear; the dark red-brown stigma 

 not very large; lower side of first s.m. strongly sinuate; recurrent 

 nervures meeting the transversocubitals; the very broad second 

 s.m. with upper side oblique; marginal cell obliquely subtruncate 

 at apex; end of first t.c. to end of second on marginal a slightly 

 greater distance than end of second t.c. to end of marginal; legs

 Habitat. — Purnong, S. Australia {S. W. Fulton; Nat. Mus. Vict. 

 150). A species of the group of E. aurantifera Ckll. and E. geminata 

 Ckll., but entirely distinct by the peculiar abdomen. 



Euryglossa nigrocserulea n- sp. 



9. Length about 9 mm.; robust, head and thorax pure black, 

 abdomen dark blue, with the hind margins of the segments black; 

 legs black, the tarsi reddish at apex; tegulse piceous or black; wings 

 hyaline, faintly brownish, stigma dark red-brown, nervures sepia;
