the fuscous hair on vertex, the flagelknn fulvous beneath (except 

 at base and apex), hair on inner side of tarsi creamj^-white ; abdomen 

 dark blue instead of green. [A female without locality (Vict. Nat. 

 Mus. 104), which I provisionally refer to E. depressa, is narrower 

 than our insect and has much darker wings ; the dark green abdomen 

 has the same texture and scattered punctures. The space between 

 the facial fovea and the eye is smooth, shining and almost without 

 punctures, contrasting with the adjacent dull and granular front, 

 this apparently being the condition rather indefinitely described 

 by Smith.] Compared with E. schomburgki Ckll., E. nigroccerulea 

 differs by the entirely black front, blue abdomen, black labrum, 

 much darker flagellum, sides of front without strong punctures, 

 dark tegulse, wings not reddened, nervures and stigma much darker, 

 apical fimbria black. Compared with E. suhsericea, the new species 

 is larger, face and thorax considerably broader, mesothorax more 

 closely and strongl}^ punctured, second submarginal cell considerably' 

 longer, area of metathorax not so perfectly smooth and shining.

 Euryglossa tenuicornis n. sp. 



cf. Length about 8 mm.; moderately robust, black without 

 light markings, the mandibles red subapically and the hind margins 

 of the abdominal segments dark brown; eyes dark reddish; head 

 and thorax densely and quite coarsely punctured; face and lower 

 half of front with thin, long white hair; clypeus densely punctured, 

 but shining; scape ordinary, black; flagellum very greatly elongated, 

 slender, fulvous except the last two joints and the apex of the one 

 before, which are black, the apical joint shining, more or less flat- 

 tened, but only very slightly broadened; mesothorax and scutellum 

 shining between the very dense punctures, those on the scutellum 

 larger than on the mesothorax; area of metathorax minutely granu- 

 lar; tegulse rather large, subtranslucent pale brown; wings dusky, 

 nervures piceous, stigma redder; venation normal for Euryglossa; 

 b.n. falling far short of t.m.; lower side of first s.m: strongly curved; 

 second s.m. elongated, receiving first r.n. some distance from its 

 base; second r.n. on inner side making an angle much greater than 

 a right angle where it joins the s.m.; legs black, with thin pale hair, 

 the knees and the ends of joints more or less reddish, anterior tibiae 

 ferruginous in front; abdomen dullish, minutely roughened; venter 

 flat.
