100 INSECUTOR INSCITI/E MENSTRUUS 



Habitat: Brisbane, December 5, 1313 (Hacker; Queensland Mus., 

 106). Resembles E. sinapipes Ckll., but the head and thorax are 

 scarcely at all hairy, there is no yellow mark on scutellum, the eyes are 

 not green, etc. Although so very different in appearance, it is related to 

 E. anthracocephala ; so much so that I wondered whether it could be 

 its male, but concluded that this was impossible. 



Euryglossina chalcosoma Cockerell. 



Brisbane, December 5, 1913 (Hacker; Queensland Mus., 107). 



Euryglossina perpusilla (Cockerell). 



Brisbane, Queensland, November 19, 1913, male, female (Hacker ; 

 Queensland Mus., 1 00, 101). The male is new. It is like the female, 

 but has mandibles, labrum, clypeus, supraclypeal area, very narrow lateral 

 face marks (extending as a line along orbits nearly halfway up front) and 

 scape in front, all light yellow. The flagellum is pale testaceous beneath. 

 Tubercles bordered with yellow. Genitalia light yeUow ; stipites broad 

 and blunt, the apical haurs very short, inconspicuous ; sagittae rather stout.

 bles yellow, black at apex, red subapically ; labrum black ; clypeus broad 

 and low, yellow, with the inferior and lateral margins black ; semicircular 

 yellow supraclypeal area nearly as large as clypeus ; yellow lateral face 

 marks in form of broad bands along the orbits, broadened below, but not 

 reaching clj^jeus or supraclypccil area, notched above, just before the 

 truncate end at middle of sides of front ; lower part of cheeks with a tri- 

 angular yellow patch, its longest side along orbit ; scape black ; flagellum 

 very short and stout, dark above, rufous beneath, covered with short 

 bristles ; last joint of maxillary palpi long ; thorax black, in lateral view 

 curiously long and flat, like the cephalothorax of a spider ; mesothorax 

 minutely tessellate and punctured ; tegulae pellucid with a large yellow 

 spot ; wings hyaline, stigma and nervures pallid, the stigma broadly mar- 

 gined with brown ; no trace of a third discoidal cell, but an incomplete 

 second s. m. is present ; legs clecir lemon yellow, with middle and hind
