the anterior ocellus to the lower margin of the clypeus, and the others, pointed 

 below, along the orbital margins ; a whitish stripe also along posterior orbital 

 margins ; flagellum brownish beneath ; thorax with short white hair, and without 

 light markings ; area of metathorax large, triangular, smooth and shining ; tegulae 

 dark in front, red behind ; wings a little dusky, nervures and stigma black, first 

 r. n. joining second s. m. some distance from its base, and the second, curv- 

 ing inwards, a like distance from its apex ; b. n. arched ; stigma large. The 

 mandibles have a light spot on upper edge. 



Habitat. — North Queensland (Rolle). I have not examined the 

 tongue of the unique type (BerHn Museum), but the reference to 

 Palccorhiaa is practically certain. The species is dedicated to the 

 describer of the genus. The species has no place in the table of 

 Prosopis, owing to the red and blue abdomen. 



Euryglossa ephippiata Smith. 



Sidney, New South Wales (Dacniel). 



Euryglossa schomburgki, new species^ . 



Female. — Length 9 mm. or slightly over ; robust, head and thorax black, 

 only the front very faintly greenish ; abdomen bluish-green, with a sericeous 

 lustre, hind margins of segments dull blackish ; legs brownish-black, with 

 glittering pale hair, last two joints of tarsi ferruginous ; labruni reddish ; man- 

 dibles reddish in middle ; flagellum entirely bright red beneath, and at apex 

 above ; clypeus shining, with scattered large punctures ; supraclypeal area 

 smooth in middle ; front dull, strongly punctured at sides ; mesothorax and 

 scutellum with strong scattered punctures ; sides of metathorax with white 

 hair ; tegulae rufotestaceous ; wings strongly reddened, nervures and stigma 

 clear ferruginous ; hind spurs strongly dentate ; apical fimbria very pale 

 brownish. 



Closely allied to E. subsericea Ckll., but much larger and with 

 differently colored wings. The venation is substantially the same, 

 and the facial fove?e are linear. From E. jiicunda Sm. it is known 

 by its larger size and the color of the tarsi; from E. dcprcssa Sm. 

 by the color of the antenn?e, etc. 



Habitat. — Adelaide, Australia {Schombitrgk) . Berlin Museum,

 white, the dorsal segments curving over to the sides of the -venter ; tibiae and 

 tarsi clear ferruginous, femora suffused with fuscous : mandibles ferruginous,
