84 MEMOIL'S OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



(6) Bands pale emerald green. Stradbroke Island ; both sexes (5-12-13^ 

 Hacker). 



(c) Bands pale brownish golden, with a few emerald-green hairs. Strad- 

 broke Island ; male (3-12-12, Hacker). 



{d) Bands white tinged with brownish, the fourth pure Avhite apically. 

 Female. Tambourine Mountain (28-12-11, Hacker). 



The specimen from Brisbane (a) also resembles A. cMorocyanea in having 

 the hair of thorax above appearing pallid greyish, not strongly reddened ; but the 

 legs are as in pulchra. The scape in female chlorocyanea is entirely black ; in pulchra 

 (including a) it has a yellow stripe or mark. 



Anthophora lilacine n. sp. 



Like A. cingulata Fab. {emendata 8m.), but abdominal bands pale lilac, the 

 first two in the male suffused with ochreoTis. At first sight this appears to be a mere 

 colour variation, but the fifth ventral segment of the male abdomen has a deep broad 

 rounded emargination, instead of the very shallow one of cingulata. The hair on 

 outer side of hind tibiae is rich orange-fulvous, more or less white at apex. 



Kuranda {Dodd). Both sexes ; the male is the type. 



PROSOPIDID.E. 

 Prosopis sculptifrons n. sp. 



Male (Type). Length about 11.5 mm. ; robust, black, with cream-coloured 

 markings on head and legs, and bright orange marldngs (tubercles, scutellum, and 

 postscutellum) on thorax. Head very broad, entirely cream-colour on face below 

 antennae, and lateral face-marks extending nearly to top of orbits, ending very 

 obtusely away from orbits, while the supraclypeal mark is triangularly extended 

 upward between the antennae ; labrum light, and mandibles with an elongate light 

 mark sometimes broken into two ; scape greatly swollen, broadly cream-colour 

 in front, flagellum dusky chestnut-red beneath ; mandibles small bidentate ; front 

 with a very strong keel, on each side of which is a deep sulcus for the scape to rest 

 in ; the frontal keel, in a less elevated form, extends downward, to flatten out on 

 apical part of clypeus ; supraclypeal area enormously extended laterally, bounding 

 upper part of sides of clypeus, and its convex sides invading the region of lateral 

 marks, and ai3proaching the orbits ; vertex and lower part of cheeks with dark hair ; 

 mesothorax rather finely and closely punctured, but shining between the punctures ; 

 scutellum finely punctured, with a faint median groove ; area of metathorax without 

 evident sculpture ; metathorax obtusely subtuberculate on each side of truncation ; 

 wings dusky, darker in marginal cell and at apex, stigma and nervures piceous ; 

 b.n. arched, meeting t.m. ; second s.m. very long, receiving the recurrent nervures 

 not far from base and apex ; tegulse black ; anterior and middle femora broadened, 

 largely cream colour in front ; anterior and middle tibiae, anterior basitarsi, and 

 middle basitarsi in part cream colour in front ; abdomen shining, finely punctured ; 

 no ventral tubercles.
