of clypeus and a contiguous band on supraclypeal area light yellow ; 

 mandibles ferruginous except at apex; antennas ferruginous beneath, 

 scape thick ; cheeks shining; mesothorax and scutellum dullish, meta- 

 thorax shining, no yellow marks on thorax ; tegulse rufo-fuscous ; 

 wings quite clear, iridescent, stigma large ; second s. m. small ; second 

 t. c. in a straight line with second r. n. ; first r. n. joining first s. m. 

 a short distance before apex; lower side of first s. m. straight; legs 

 pale reddish, the femora and the tibia? more or less infuscated ; ab- 

 domen broad, shining, microscopically transversely lineolate ; hind 

 spur coarsely serrate. 



This minute species may best be compared with E. per- 

 uana Ckll., from which it differs at once in the venation and 

 the color of the abdomen. The venation is not normal for 

 Euryglossa. 



Hab. — Mackay, Queensland, at flowers of Eucalyptus, 

 March, 1900 {Turner). British Museum. 

 Euryglossa jucunda Smith. 



A female from Mackay, Queensland. Nov., 1893 {Ticrner 

 867), agrees with Smith's description, but is in poor condi- 

 tion, and has lost the apical half of the abdomen. It is re- 

 lated to E. subsericea, but easily separated by the narrower 

 face and bright ferruginous under side of flagellum. 

 Euryglossa chxysoceras Ckll. 



A male from Victoria (C. F. ; Turner collection), in the 

 British Museum agrees with the type, but has the dark parts 

 of the abdomen black, with ferruginous (narrowly) between 

 the black and the whitish hind margins of the segments.
