cJ . SiHiilav to ? in sculpture, but differs in being con- 

 siderably larger and in having the wings niucli darker. 

 There is only golden pubescence on the face and clvpeus, all 

 remaining pubescence is griseons ; the abdominal fascia is 

 of griseous scales. Anal segment 6-spined, all the spines 

 acute, the four apical ones the larger, the lower pair pro- 

 jecting beyond the others ; a \)i\iv at the base shorter than 

 the others. Tergite 5 with a small tubercle on each side at 

 apex ; tergites 2-5 with distinct lateral furrows. 



Length 11 mm.

A most interesting p;ur ; the difference in general apjiem-- 

 ance is most striking. From the allied species it may be 

 separated as follows : — 



1. (6) Face and clypeus at least with golden 



pubescence. 



2. (3) Anal tergite produced bej-ond anal 



sternite ; anal segment ( c? ) with 8 



spines ; 6^-7^ mm. (Sumatra.) . . . . sumatrana, Endl. (190G). 



3. (2) Anal tergite shorter than aual sternite. 



4. (o) Larger (13 mm.) ; wings distinctly bi- 



colorous, hyaline at base, fuscous at 



apex. J unknown. (Borneo.) .... cia-vispma, Cam. (1903). 

 6. (4) Smaller (9 mm. §, 11 mm. c? ) ; wings 

 uuicolorous ; anal .segment c^ with 

 6 spines. (Borneo.) 7)iaf(mg<e, sp. n. 



6. (1) Face and clypeus at least with white 



or griseous pubescence. 



7. (8) Anal steruite produced beyond aual 



tergite: "pubescence white.'" J 



unknown. 11 mm. (Borneo.) .... e7-iocepJiala,Ciiva. (1902). 



8. (7) Anal tergite longer than anal sternite ; 



pubescence grey: anal segment (J) 



with 6 spines. 10 mm. (Sumatra.) lepotaxis, Endl. (1906). 



Ccelioxys froggatti, Ckll. 



This species was described from Victoria (Proc. Linn. Soc. 

 New South Wales, xxxvi. p. 170, 1913). Turner took a 

 ? at Eaglehawk Neck, S.E. Tasmania, ii.-iii. 1913. Tiiis 

 is apparently the first record ot the genus in Tasmania ; it is 

 not represented in Cockerell's list of Tasmanian bees (Proc. 

 Ijinn. tSoc. jSew South Wales, xxxvii. p. 599, 1913). 



A long series of both sexes from liallingup, S.W. Aus- 

 tralia, xii. 1913, is composed of specimens all rather larger 

 than the type (10 mm. ? , 12 ram. ^).
