Pachyprosopis doddi, sp. n. 



? . — Length about 6 mm. 



Very close to P. plebeia, with the same red mesothorax, 

 the same venation, &c, but differing thus : scape ferruginous 

 like the flagellum ; scutellum red ; anterior tibiae not yellow 

 in front ; first abdominal segment dark, except the apical sides 

 broadly, but no light spots; red of abdomen duller.

 British Museum. 



The new species of Pachyprosopis indicate that the genus 

 is essentially like Euryglossa, differing, however, in the shape 

 of the submarginal cell. 



Pachyprosopis semisericea (Okll.). 



Stilpnosoma semisericeum, Ckll., 1905, is better placed in 

 this genus. 



Euryghssa rubricate, Smith, and allies. 



I formerly recorded Turner's 859 as E. rubricate, but it 

 now appears that there are three species of the rubricate 

 type, separable thus : — 



Mesothorax finely rugose in front, posteriorly 



with strong rather close punctures; scape 



red ; scutellum red, but axillse, postscutel- 



lum (which is rugose), and nietathorax 



black ; last two segments of abdomen 



black. (Mackay, Queensland, at flowers 



of Leptospermum, Oct. 1898, Turner, 



859, § .) E. leptospermi, sp. n. 



Mesothorax and scutellum shining, with 



fine scattered punctures 1. 



1. Apex of abdomen red, like the part before; 



antennas very dark fuscous, the flagellum 



beneath largely pale yellowish ferruginous ; 



axillae and postscutellum red. (Victoria, 



C. F. ; Turner collection.) E.frenchii, sp. n. 



Apex of abdomen blue-black ; antennas ferru- 

 ginous ; the flagellum fuscous above. 



(Swan River.) E. rubricata, Smith. 



The types of the new species are in the British Museum. 

 Other characters are : — 



E, leptospermi. — Olypeus well punctured ; knees, tibiae, 

 and tarsi ferruginous; hind spur strongly dentate. 



E.frenchii. — Clypeus and supraclypeal area smooth, hardly 

 punctured, the suture between them broadly suffused with 

 dark reddish ; anterior tibiae blackish on outer side ; hind 

 femora red beneath.
