Records of Bees. 51 
Paracolletes eucalypti, sp. n. 
3 .—Length about 10 mm. 
Head blue-green, the lower part of clypeus black ; thorax 
dark blue, mesothorax green, with middle of disc discoloured ; 
hair of head and thorax mostly black, but white on lower 
two-thirds of pleura and on cheeks ; mandibles and antennz 
black ; abdomen rich deep purple-blue, hair at apex black. 
Exceedingly like P. carinatus (Sm.), both sexes of which 
were taken on the same plant at the same time, but easily 
distinguished by the narrower abdomen, which is trans- 
versely microscopically lineolate-punctate (making a dullish, 
not polished, surface), and is only extremely indistinctly 
punctured ; the b. n. falling short of t.-m.; and the dark 
red tibiz. 
Hab. Mt. Yule, Healesville, Victoria, on Eucalyptus calo- 
phylla rosea, Feb. 20, 1915 (R. Kelly ; British Museum). 
This resembles P. castaneipes, Ckll., as to the legs, but 
has much smaller eyes and broader face. It is related to 
P. subviridis, Ckll., but the abdomen is quite differently 
coloured. 
Paracolletes moniliformis, sp. u. 
3 .—Length 9 mm. 
Rather slender ; head and thorax shining black ; abdomen 
obscurely purplish on first two segments, greenish and 
purplish on third, and greenish on the others ; hair of head 
and thorax long, white with a slight ochreous tint, dark 
fuscous on vertex, and mixed with fuscous on dorsum of 
thorax ; face extremely broad, facial quadrangle broader 
than long ; mandibles black, obscurely red at apex ; vertex 
impunctate ; antenne black, the flagellar joints moniliform ; 
mesothorax shining, only feebly punctured ; area of meta- 
thorax polished, with no sharp transverse keel; legs black, 
with pale hair ; tegule dark brown. Wings dusky, nervures 
and stigma piceous ; first r. n. joming second s.m.in middle. 
Abdomen with a dullish, sericeous ‘surface, no hair-bands ; 
apical plate broad, truncate; venter with thin glittering 
white hair. 
Hab. Yallingup, S.W. Australia, Sept. 14-Oct. 31, 1913 
(R. E. Turner ; British Museum). 
Closely allied to P. ibex, Ckll., with similar flagellum, 
but larger, with brownish wings and dark stigma.
