thin pale hair, the hind margins of the first four abdominal 
segments narrowly dusky-testaceous ; antenne entirely

2560). 
Nearest to E. fasciatella, Ckll., but the head is not nearly

is longer and narrower than in E. subsericea, Ckll. 
Lithurgus scabrosus (Smith). 
Yule Island, S.E. Papua, 1915. (Queensland Museum.) 
It is presumably this species which Friese has reported 
from New Guinea as ZL. atratus, Smith.

tured all over, not smooth at base; no fulvous fasciz on 
abdomen beyond third segment; ventral scopa cream- 
coloured on first two segments and middle of third and 
fourth, but broadly black at sides of third and fourth, and 
black on last two segments; antenne entirely black. The 
wings are yellowish smoky, with a small dark cloud beyond
