minutely punctured as to appear granular ; metathorax 

 feebly shining. Wings hyaline, with sepia nervures and 

 stigma ; b. n. not much bent, falling a little short of t.-m. ; 

 second s.m. broad, receiving first r. n. very near its base and 

 the second not so near its apex. Knees and bases of tibiae 

 more or less white. 



Hab. "Windsor, Victoria" (French ; Froggatt, 192). 



A very distinct species, not a typical Euryglossa, The 

 third discoidal cell is not produced apically, as it is in 

 E. geminata. 



Euryglossa cincticornis, sp. n. 



S • — Length nearly 7 mm. 



Black, with long pale hair on face, cheeks, and anterior 

 femora, but hardly any hair on the dorsal surface; head 

 broad ; clypeus closely punctured, but shining ; suture 

 bounding clypeus above strongly impressed ; front and 

 vertex dull and granular; scape black ; flagellum very long, 

 black, with a red band covering two and a half joints above 

 (more below) beyond the middle ; last joint broad, com- 

 pressed, shining on one side ; mesothorax and scutellum 

 very densely punctured, but shining between the punctures ; 

 area of metathorax shining ; tegulse piceous. Wings strongly 

 dusky, stigma and nervures dark reddish brown; b. n. 

 moderately bent, falling far short of t.-m. ; second s.m. very 

 much broader than high, receiving first r.n. very near base 

 aud second not quite so near apex; the outer side of third 

 discoidal cell, if produced upwards, would be parallel with 

 outer side of second s.m. Legs black, with white hair, inter- 

 mediate tarsal joints broad and short, with a cup-like outline. 

 Abdomen broad, black, with a dullish surface; seventh seg- 

 ment triangular, pointed, with a large, brilliantly shining, 

 triangular space. 



Hab. Warburton, Victoria (F. P. Spry; Nat. Mus. 

 Victoria, 250) . 



Evidently related to E. nigra, Smith, but conspicuously 

 differing in the colour of the legs and venation. These 

 insects belong to the subgenus Euryglossimorphu, Strand, 

 which should, perhaps, be regarded as a distinct genus. 



Euryglossa apicalis, sp. n. 



J 1 . — Length about 7 mm. 



Rather slender, black, with scanty white hair, that on 

 cheeks only about half as long as in E, cincticornis ; facial 

 quadrangle much longer than broad ; mandibles with a red
