NEW AUSTRALIAN BEES. 199 
s.m. very strongly arched or undulated; legs dark reddish brown 
with glittering white hair; anterior knees and tibiz in front yellow; 
abdomen broad, first segment with a large yellow patch (bidentate 
posteriorly) at base; second to fourth segments with interrupted 
yellow bands, which become very broad in the sublateral region ; 
second and third segments dull basally, shining apically; apical 
plate small ;- greater part of venter yellow. 
g. Length 8 to 9 mm.; much more slender; face and front 
with much white hair, but not hiding the surface; flagellum beneath 
dark coffee-brown, not spotted; b.n. not reaching t. m.; all the 
femora yellow at apex ; anterior tibize yellow with a large black patch 
behind ; middle and hind tibize yellow at apex behind; first abdominal 
segment not yellow at base; second to fifth with transverse yellow 
macul, successively smaller, at sides, those beyond the third segment 
sometimes hidden by the retraction of the segments; apical plate 
circular, orange-fulvous ; venter mainly yellow. 
Hab. Yallingup, S.-W. Australia, September 14th—October 
31st, 1918, 1 female (= type), 3 males (R. EH. Turner) ; British 
Museum. The sexes were taken mated on September 30th. The 
female is superficially rather like HZ. crabronica, Ckll., but differs by 
the dark face, venation (first r. n. entering second s. m. some 
distance from base, second r. n. a short distance from apex), &c. 
E. maculata, Sm. (of which E. villosula, Sm., is probably the 
male, judging from the descriptions), has yeilow iegs, while 
E. nitidifrons, Sm., has yellow mandibles. 
Binghamiella insularis, sp. un. 
g. Length about 7 mm.; rather slender, black; first abdominal 
segment black or nearly, with the apical margin broadly red; rest of 
abdomen bright chestnut-red, with the apical margins of the seg- 
ments stained with dusky; face with white hair, not dense. Com- 
pared with female B. antipodes (Smith), from New South Wales, 
the following differences are apparent: abdomen a much brighter 
red ; wings dusky, not so red (very red in antipodes), with the stigma 
and nervures piceous; third s.m. broader above than second (the 
reverse is true of antipodes); mesothorax extremely densely punc- 
tured. Apical plate of abdomen very small and narrow; antennz 
wholly dark; flagellum very long, reaching to end of thorax; lobes 
of tongue quite long and slender. 
Hab. Eaglehawk Neck, S.-H. Tasmania, February 12th— 
March 8rd, 1913 (R. E. Turner). Two males. British Museum. 
As we know only the male of B. insularis and the female of 
B. antipodes, it is difficult to determine the true specific 
characters of the new form, but it seems to be sufficiently 
distinct. 
Hxoneura turneri, sp. n. 
@. Length about 8 mm.; head and thorax black, wholly with- 
out light markings ; abdomen bright chestnut-red, the first segment 
with two rather small dusky spots near base; femora, tibizwe, and 
tarsi bright chestnut-red, anterior femora black at extreme base;
