punctured ; wings slightly (sometimes conspicuously) brownish, stigma very dark ; 

 hair of occiput very pale yellow ; abdomen dull green, hind margins of segments black ; 

 legs black, the tarsi ferruginous apically. Very close to E. subsericea Ckll., from 

 Mackay, Queensland, but larger, with longer second submarginal cell, and much 

 broader face. 



Type from Dandenong, Victoria, Nov., 1902 (T. Kershaw). Also occurs at 

 Croydon. 



Euryglossa hypoleuca Cockerell. 



Mr. Hacker has discovered the female, and sends specimens from Caloundra, 

 20-1-16. This female resembles that of E. albocuneata Ckll., but is less robust, with 

 the clypeus narrower, the cuneiform lateral face-marks longer, the lower margin 

 of clypeus, mandibles (except tips), and labrum bright ferruginous, the antennae 

 (including scape) ferruginous on outer side. The knees, tarsi, and anterior tibiae in 

 front are red, but the hind tibiae are white basally. The face is concave. The 

 abdomen is without distinct banding, but the hind margins of the segments are 

 narrowly pallid.

 with the polished, bare, hardly punctured clypeus ferruginous ; supraclypeal area

 the apex intense black ; labrum and basal half of mandibles reddish ; mesothorax 

 and scutellum bare, ferruginous, polished, with minute very sparse punctures ; pro- 

 thorax red, dusky below at sides ; pleura black ; axillae much lighter red than 

 scutellum ; postscutellum and upper part of metathorax red ; tegulse ferruginous ; 

 wings hyaline, stigma and nervures dusky reddish ; basal nervure falling far short 

 of nervulus ; second submarginal cell receiving first recurrent nervure far from 

 base, the second almost or quite at apex ; legs pale ferruginous, anterior and middle 

 femora suffused with dusky above ; abdomen ferruginous, with subquadrate black 

 marks at extreme sides of the segments, apex dusky reddish.

 abdomen very broad, ferruginous, black (with black hair) at tip, and the segments 

 with inconspicuous biundulate dusky (somewhat bluish) bands, faihng sublaterally ;
