Pcchyprosopis doddi\ sp. n. 



9 . — L<'ngtli al)out G mm. 



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

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

 like the tlngellum ; scutellum red ; anterior tibiae not yeUow 

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

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

 British ^luseum. 



'iiie new species of Pachyprosopis indicate that the genus 

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

 of the submarginal cell. 



Pachyprosopis semisertcea (Clkll.). 



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

 this genus. 



Euryghssa ruhricata, Smith, and allies. 



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

 now appears that there are three species of the rubricala 

 type, separable thus: — 



Mesothorax finely rugose in front, posteriorly 



with strong rather close punctures ; scape 



red ; scutellum red, but aiillfe, postscutel- 



liim (which is rugose), and metathorax 



black ; last two segments of abdomen 



black. (Mackay, Queensland, at flowers 



of Leptospermxan, Oct. 1898, Turner, 



859, $ .) E. leptotpermi, sp. n. 



Mesothorax and scutellum shining, with 



fine scattered punctures 1. 



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



antennpe very dark fuscous, the flagellum 



beneath largely pale yellowish feri'u^nous ; 



axillae and postscutellum red. (Victoria, 



('. F. ; Turner collection.) E.frenchii, sp. n. 



Apex of abdomen blue-black ; antennte ferru- 

 ginous ; the flagellum fuscous above. 



(Swan River.) E. rubricata, Smith. 



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

 Oth< r characters are : — 



E. leptuspermi. — Clypeus well punctured ; knees, tibiae, 

 and tarsi ferruginous; hind spur strongly dentate. 



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

 punetureil, the suture between them broadly suffused with 

 dark reddish ; anterior tibiaj blackish on outer side ; hind 

 femora rod beneath.
