Tiiere are also two males labelled as collected by Turner 

 on ]\It. Wellington, Tasmania: is this, perhaps, an error? 



These species run to 35 in my table of Australian Prosopis, 

 but are distinct from the species there indicated and from 

 allied ones subsequently described. P. ancorata, Okll., 

 shows many points of resemblance, but is easily separated by 

 the cuneiform black marks on each side of clypeus and much 

 more strongly sculptured mesothorax. P. eburniella, Ckll., 

 has a much broader face than that of P. perhumilis, which it 

 resembles somewhat in the markings. 



Prosopis scintilla, Cockerell. 



^ . — Length about 3^ mm. 



Clypeus and long narrow lateral face-marks, ending acutely 

 above level of antenna?, pale yellow (the precise tint doubtful, 

 the specimen being altered by cyanide, but certainly not 

 bright yellow) ; no supraclypeal mark; labrum and mandibles 

 pale yellow ; middle and liind tibias pale apically as well as 

 basall}' ; tul)ercles pale reddish. 



Bab. Mackay, Queensland, March 1900 (Turner, 1082). 



1 had determined this as probably the male of P. scintilla 

 before noticing that the collector had himself indicated it as 

 such. In my table of Australian Prosopis (Ann. & Mag. 

 Isat. Hist., Feb. 1910) this runs to 34, and runs out because 

 of the absence of a supraclypeal mark. 



Prosopis sanguinipicta, sp. n." 



(J . — Lenoth about 5^ mm. 



liather robust; black, marked with ferruginous (on abdo- 

 men) and deep chrome-yellow ; head round, orbits converging 

 below, but face quite broad ; cheeks and anterior coxa? 

 tufted with long pure white plumose hairs ; mandibles, 

 labrum, entire face below level of antennse, swollen extension 

 of supraclypeal mark between antennge, and very broad 

 upward extension of lateral marks (reaching nearly to level 

 of anterior ocellus) all shining (as if newly painted) rich 

 yellow ; depressed lower part of supraclypeal area appearing 

 as a shining crescent, the concavity upward ; clypeus finely
