88 MEMOIRS OF TEE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



PARASPHECODES Sniith. 



Farasphecodes callomelittinus Cockerell, 1910. 

 This remarkable species was described from Melbourne. One from Bribie 

 Island. 2-11-15 {Hacker), differs a little in having the tegulae reddish, not dark, and 

 the stigma paler than in the type. 



CALLOMELITTA Smith. 

 Callomelitta littleri Cockerell 1914. 

 Mr. Hacker collected three females and two males of Callomelitta in the 

 National Park, Queensland, Dec, 1919. To my surprise, the females are C. liUleri, 

 and the males C. nigrofasciata Ckll., both described from Tasmania. In spite of 

 the differences which led me to regard nigrofasciata as a distinct species, I can no 

 longer doubt that it is the male of littleri. 



MEGACHILE Latreille. 

 Megachile semiluctuosa Smith. 

 Mallee, Victoria {H. W. Davey). One female. 



Megachile mackayensis Cockerell. 

 National Park, Queensland, Dec, 1919 [Hacker). Two females, which have 

 a short line of red hair sublaterally on each side of second and third abdominal 

 segments, in addition to the bright red hair of the apical three segments. 



Megachile quinquelineata Cockerell. 

 Kuranda, Queensland (Dodd). One female. 



Megachile sequior Cockerell. 

 Eidsvold {T. L. Bancroft). One male. 



Megachile canifrons Smith. 

 Brisbane, 10-10-16 {Hacker). One male. Described from Western AustraHa, 

 but the specimen from Brisbane agrees with the description. It also runs to canifrons 

 in Meade-Waldo's table of Smith's species. 



Megachile tasmanica Cockerell. 

 Brisbane, 10-10-16 {Hacker). This little species was described from Tasmania 

 in 1916. The male from Brisbane exactly agrees with the type. 



Megachile latericauda n. sp. 

 Male (Type). Length about 11 mm., expanse 17 ; black, with a large apical 

 patch on inner side of anterior tibiae, and anterior tarsi entirely, bright ferruginous ; 

 head rounded, with broad vertex ; eyes reddish ; face narrow, covered with long 

 white hair, that on upper part of clypeus tinged with yellow ; mandibles black, 

 strongly bidentate ; vertex finely and densely punctured ; antennae black, slender.
