AVith a rather long pointed abdomen ; brilliant steel-blue, 

 rather dark, with yellow lateral face-marks, consisting of 

 bands or bars (not in the least triangular) ending very 

 obtusely below level of antennae. No yellow on clypeus; 

 posterior iialf of tubercles yellow ; legs dark blue without 

 yellow, middle and hind tarsi and apical part of their tiblfe 

 with much liglit hair ; head and thorax above with scanty 

 coarse dark hair; clypeus well punctured; mesothorax 

 strongly jjunctured, the punctures of two sizes, scutellum the 

 same. Wings clear, second s.m. very long, receiving the 

 recurrent nervures near base and apex. Tongue typical for 

 Prosopisj so far as can be seen in the dry state. General 

 appearance of iuicct not unlike P. alcyoned. 



llab. Fiji. Type in British Museum (F. Smith Collec- 

 tion, 79.22). 



A very distinct species ; in my MS. table of Australian 

 Prosopis it runs to P. albonitens, but that is a very small 

 species.
