Euryglossa adelaidcB, sp. n. 



? . — Length slightly over 6 mm. 



Very close to E. regince, but diff'ering thus : — Wings 

 yellowish ; scape, funicle, and flagellum light yellowish 

 ferruginous beneath, and not more than dark brown above ; 

 tibiae, tarsi, and apices of femora yellowish ferruginous, the 

 anterior and hind tibiae with small and faint dusky clouds ; 

 teguli« yellowish hyaline. 



Ilab. Adelaide, S. Australia; accession number 59. 52. 



It is possible that this is the female of E. regince, but in 

 view of the diff'erences noted, and the widely different 

 localities, this seems improbable.
