W.A., no. 91-155; Mor. [ = Moveton?J Bay, 1893 {W.W. 

 Froygatt) ; Queensland, no. 319; Queensland (^. /S^aw/ 



AUodape unicolor, Smith. 



Queensland, no. 431.2 ; Baudin I., no. 91-82; Montalivet 

 I., N.W. Australia, no. 90-1.26. 



The last-mentioned specimen differs in having the second 

 recurrent nervure joining the second submarginal cell almost 

 at its tip, but it does not appear to be a distinct species. 



Anthophora aruginosa, Smith. 



Of this wonderful species I have before me a male from 

 De Freycinet I., N.W. Australia (no. 90-126), and females 

 from Queensland {E. Saunders, F. P.Dodd), Adelaide River, 

 and Port Darwin. Tbe following particulars should be added 

 to Smith's description : — 



$ . — Green hair of vertex and above strongly mixed with 

 black ; pleura with light bluish-green hair ; black on clypeus 

 more extensive than Smith's description suggests. 



(^ . — Clypeus yellow, with the upper lateral margins broadly 

 black. 



Anthophora concinna (Klug) . 



Queenstown, Cape Colony [E. T. Wells). ? . In British 

 Museum. 



The second s.m. is very broad below. Superficially the 

 insect looks like a fulvous edition of A. arufjinosa. 



LHhurgus rubricatus, Smith. 

 Queensland {E. Saunders) ; nos. 93-49 and 324. ? . 



Lithurgus atratifurmis, sp. n.

 abdomen seen in L. rubricatus. Head large and round ; hair 

 at sides of face dull Avhite, of region between antcnnse and 

 cheeks mixed black and white, of vertex and occiput black, 

 of anterior middle of clypeus long and reddish, of mandibles 

 (which are short and obtusely tridentate) reddish ; frontal 

 tubercle rather prominent, wrinkled and shining, not bifid, 

 its form much as in L. rubricatus ; vertex as densely punc- 

 tured as possible ; antennae dark, flagellum faintly broMnish 

 beneath ; hair ojf prothorax and anterior margin of meso-
