EURYGLOSSA Smith. 

 Euryglossa Jurcifera Cockerel! . 

 Female. Brisbane, 15-2- Ki [Hacker). 



Euryglossa calliopsiformis Cockerell. 

 Female. Brisbane, 10-10-16, and 8-10-18 [Hacker) ; Logan Road, Brisbane., 

 at Leptosperynum. 



Male. Sunnybank, on flowers of Jacksonia scoparia R. Br., unusually small, 

 about 4-3 mm. long, with second submarginal cell shorter, and its upper apical angle 

 more acute. Another male, Brisbane, 10-10-16 [Hacker), has the band on cheeks- 

 broader, a triangular yellow mark on the postscutellum, and the second submarginal 

 cell more as in the female, with the first recurrent joining it far from base. Possibly 

 the Jacksonia specimen should be separated, but at present I conclude that we have 

 a single very variable species. The scutellum is dark with a variable yellow band on 

 hind margin, and the axillae have yellow spots. 



Euryglossa terminata .Smith. 



I saw the type in the Saunders collection at Oxford, and noted that it was a 

 large species, wings dilute fuliginous ; fifth abdominal segment red, with golden 

 hair. Smith's measurement, " length 4 lines," is evidently erroneous. It therefore 

 appears practically certain that E. hcematura Ckll. is identical with terminata. 



Euryglossa depressa Smith. 

 A female from Portland, Victoria [H. W. Davey). is evidently the true depressa 

 of Smith, as is shown by the broad subtriangular facial fovese, which are described 

 by Smith. Th? tarsi are dark (hind tarsal joints red at ends), not rufo-piceous as 

 described by Smith, but the description otherwise agrees very well. The pale 

 yellowish fulvous hair on occiput is as indicated by Smith. I noted at Oxford that 

 E. depressa had clear hyaline wings and very broad abdomen ; in the present 

 specimen the abdomen is very broad (4 mm. wide), and the wings, which are 6-7 mm. 

 long, are hyaline tinged with brown, the stigma ferruginous. The disc of mesothorax 

 and scutellum are sparsely punctured, the punctures on the scutellum small ; 

 flagellum very obscure brown beneath, bright red at extreme tip. The mesothorax 

 shows a broad concavity niesad of each wing, traversed by the parapsidal groove. 



My E. depressa sparsa appears to be correctly considered a variety of this,, 

 but ths spe3ie3 I had as E. depressa Sm., from Victoria, is distinct, and may be 

 described as follows : — 



Euryglossa polysticta sp. n. 

 Female. Length 8-5-9-5 mm. ; similar to E. depressa, but smaller and with 

 narrower abdomen ; facial fovese linear ; flagellum dark, not red at tip ; mesothorax 

 anteriorly with very numerous minute punctures, and scutellum quite closely
