middle of face, the rather thick Hagellum pale reddish beneath 

 except hasally ; clypcus brilliant chrorae-yellow, broadly 

 truncate (a little concave) above, with large rectangular 

 lateral notches; eyes dark purplish; mandibles yellow; 

 cheeks entirely dark; th(^rax pure black, brilliantly shining, 

 almost without hair ; tubercles bright yellow, with a black 

 spot ; under the microscope the thorax above has an extremely 

 delicate tessellation, while the mesothorax and scutelluni 

 have a very few scattered punctures ; tcgulaj ferruginous. 

 Wings slightly reddish ; the large stigma and the nervures 

 dull ferruginous ; lower side of first s.m. distinctly curved ; 

 second s.m. rather large, receiving first r. u. very near its 

 base ; no approach to Pachijprosopis venation. Legs very 

 dark brown, anterior knees and anterior tibiiein front bright 

 yellow. Abdomen broad and flat, shining dark reddish 

 brown, the hind corners of segments 1 to 3 yellow ; venter 

 brown. 



Hub. BlueMts., N. S. Wales {Taylor ; Froggatt coll. 156). 



A quite unique species by its small size and the bright 

 yellow clypeus. E. sinupipes, Ckll., has a yellow clypeus, 

 but is otherwis^e quite a different bee. The specific uame is 

 suggested by the very broad mouth. 



Euryglossina sulphurella, sp. n. 



? . — Length slightly over 4 mm. 



Very pale sulphur-yellow, the head bright yellow, except 

 the lower parts, the clypeus and adjacent parts, and the 

 mandibles except the dark apices, being white ; dark brown 

 linear facial fovese, beginning near the level of the middle of 

 the face, run very close to the orbital margin until they 

 reach the top of the eye, when they curve across the vertex 

 toward the outer ocelli, which they fail to reach by a space 

 about equal to the diameter of an ocellus ; eyes very pale 

 reddish ; anteunai yellow, Hagellum quite thick. AVings 

 clear, with very pale nervures, not reaching to end of abdo- 

 men ; b. n. robust, falling considerably short of t.-m., but 

 the b. n. seems to end at the t.-m. and to be joined before its 

 end by the slender discoidal nervure; stigma large; first 

 r. n. joining first s.m. some distance from its end, the distance 

 equal to about three- fifths the length of the first t.-c. ; lower 

 side of the long first s.m. straight ; second s.m. small, joined 

 by the second r. n. at its lower apical corner : lower side of 

 second s.m. strongly developed ; hind basitarsus long and 

 slender, with a strong apical spur ; very little pubescence, 

 the abdomen above subapically with quite long finely
