Mr. R. E. Turner on Fossorial Hymenoptera. 435 



The original specimens of E. sulphurella have the head 

 bright yellow, but the thorax and abdomen very pale ; they 

 appear to be immature, and possibly should show brighter 

 colours.

This species has been rediscovered at Kalamunda, Feb. 9- 

 28, 1914, and March 1-11, 1914 (850 tt.), by Mr. R. E. 

 Turner. Smith's description is good, but the sex described 

 is male, not female, and the yellow spot on anterior femora 

 is at the apex, not at the base. The second s.m. is very 

 broad (long). Tiie type of fulvicomis was in the Baly 

 collection, and until now the species has not been represented 

 in the British Museum. 



Prosopis elongata, Smith. 



Kalaraunda, Feb. 9-28 {R. E. Turner; British Museum). 

 The wings are dusky and the second s.m. is not especially 

 long.

Family Psammocliaridae. 



Genus Batozonus, Ashm. 



Batozonus, Ashm. Canad. Entom, xxxiv. p. 81 (1902). 

 Heteronyx, Sauss. Soc. Entom. ii. p. 3 (1887) (nom. prseocc). 



The type of Batozonus is B. algidus, Sm., that of Heter- 

 onyx is R. madecassus, Sauss. The tarsal ungues are bifid 

 in the male, but in the female the ungues of the fore tarsus 

 only are bifid, the others being unidentate. The cubitus of 

 the hind wing originates before the transverse median nervure 

 in both sexes, and the third cubital cell is always shorter than 

 the second on the radius, often almost quadrate. The middle 

 joints of the flagellum are strongly arcuate beneath in the 

 male. The differences between the sexes are very striking 

 in this genus.
