101 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell — Descriptions and 



Prosopis brevior, sp. n. 



Prosopis pcrhumilis, Cockerell, Mem. Queensl. Mii8. v. (1916) p. 197 

 (Oxley, Brisbane), g . 



I am now convinced that the Queensland supposed per- 

 il u mi lis must be separated. It is easily distinguished ( <$ ) 

 by the shorter clypeus and larger supraclypeal mark. In 

 perhumilis the parallel-sided part of clypeus is higher than 

 broad, in brevior it is very much broader than high. In 

 brevior the lateral face-marks are longer, and the yellow 

 stripe on scape is broader. 



Euryglossa tasmanica, sp. n. 



$ . — Length about 65 mm. 



Head and thorax black without markings. Abdomen very 

 dark reddish, with a large subtriangular yellow patch on each 

 side of segments 2 to 5, those on 5 only narrowly separated 

 in the middle line ; mandibles yellow basally, beyond that 

 ferruginous, and dark at apex ; clypeus and supraclypeal 

 area shining, sparsely punctured ; supraclypeal area strongly 

 elevated and angulate above ; flagellum rather obscure red 

 beneath ; thorax only moderately shining, with scanty pale 

 hair ; mesothorax with minute very sparse punctures on a 

 dullish ground; metathorax obscurely reddish; tegulse dark. 

 Wings slightly dusky, stigma and nervures dull ferruginous, 

 venation ordinary. Anterior and middle knees, anterior tibiae 

 in front, and stripe on middle ones yellow or reddish-yellow. 

 Abdomen shining ; venter of abdomen rufo-testaceous, with 

 no markings except that middle of first segment is piceous. 



Launceston, Tasmania, 3 ? , Dec. 27, 1915 {Littler, 2806). 



Related to E. maculata, Sm., from Swan River, but that 

 has yellow legs. 



Callomelitta nigrofasciata, sp. n. 



$ . — Length about 9 mm. 



Shining black, with lateral thirds of mesothorax (narrower 

 posteriorly) terra-cotta red ; anterior femora at apex, anterior 

 tibise (except a black mark behind) and their basitarsi red ; 

 apical plate of abdomen small and narrow, subclavate. 



Very close to ft littleri, Ckll., but apparently not its male, 

 on account of the paler (though strongly dusky) wings, the 

 broad black band down middle of mesothorax, and the black
