PACHYPROSOPIS Perkins. 



Pachyprosopis hackeri n.sp. 



9. Length a little over 5 mm. ; robust, black, moderate^ shining ; labrum, 

 mandibles (except aj^ex), anterior tibiee, and all the tarsi fen'uginous ; head broad and 

 thick, subquadrate, extremely feebly and minutel}' punctured ; the broad front is 

 dulhsh, and very faintly greenish ; flagellum very short, dull ferruginous beneath ; 

 mesothorax and scutellum like the front ; base of metathorax smooth and shining ; 

 tegulse black ; wings hyaline ; stigma large, piceous, veins brown, second submar- 

 ginal cell "with the shape typical of the genus ; abdomen broad, without distinct 

 j)unctures. 



Hab. : Oxley, Brisbane, Sept. 24, 1914 {Hacker 150). Related to P. angophorce 

 Ckll., but in that species, in addition to the colour differences, the mesothorax is very 

 much more closely and distinctly punctured. P. atromicans Ckll. is much smaller, 

 and has the first recurrent nervure meeting the first transversocubital, whereas in 

 P. hackeri the first recurrent joins the first submarginal cell as far from its apex as the 

 second recurrent from the apex of the second submarginal.

Euryglossa flavopicta Smith. 



The specimen ($) possibly represents a variety, but Smith's description is 

 rather too short. The mandibles are yellow, broadly rufofuscous apically ; lateral 

 black stripes running down orbital margins some distance from the transverse band 

 on vertex, of which they are the continuation ; black bands going downwards from, 

 lateral ocelli very broad, but not reaching antennal sockets ; scutellum with two 

 dark spots, but no band, though there is a black band in suture between scutellum 

 and postscutellum ; area of metathorax black, except a very large median yellow 

 patch, which divides the black (except along extreme base) into two triangular areas ; 

 abdomen with four broad dark bands, and a narrow transverse discal band on first 

 segment ; fifth and sixth segments yellowish bro^vn, not banded. The nearest relative 

 is E. hrachycera Ckll., from Townsville. 



Euryglossa edwardsii Cockerell. 



This seems to be essentially identical with one of the forms (^) of E. variabilis 

 Perkins, a species described six years later than edwardsii. The posterior corners of 

 the abdominal tergites (overlapping the venter) are broadly colourless. 



Euryglossa neglectula Cockerell. 



Described from a specimen labelled " Austraha" ; a precise locahty was not 

 known until the species was rediscovered by Mr. Hacker.
