This widely disjunct distribution suggests that the species is present but rare across the east coast of Australia. Although no male has been collected, the holotype was successfully DNA barcoded, so if a male is collected in the future it can be confidently matched to the holotype using DNA evidence. The barcode data extracted from the holotype is publicly available on the BOLD website (process ID: SYCNC805- 18) and on Genbank (MK073252), as detailed above in the Material and methods section.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B33CB310FF883E51FF51FC59FB496227	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Body length: 9.7–12.2 mm.</p><p>Description: MALE: Head: Frons and face yellow, very thinly pollinose at anterior margin of eye, otherwise bare. Face and frons with yellow pile, vertex with a tuft of long yellowish-orange pile. Antenna orange. Eye densely pilose, pile entirely yellow. Thorax: Legs entirely dull orange to brown. Hind femur unmodified, with only a few weak, black setulae apicoventrally. Pleuron obscurely dull orange to brown, entirely shining. Pile on pleuron orange dorsally, most katepisternal pile black. Scutum dull orange to brown laterally, with large dark brownish-black area medially. Scutal pile mostly yellow, with some black pile anterior to scutellum. Scutellum dark brown, with pile mostly black, but with some yellow pile anteriorly. Wing colourless, with bare areas on the anterior half of cell c and cua, mostly bare on cells bm and r. Halter orange. Abdomen: Broadly oval. Tergite 1 entirely dark brown, tergite 2 yellow laterally and ventrally, dark brown anteriorly and centrally, tergite 3 almost entirely yellow with faint dark brown markings laterally, tergite 4 dark brown with a central yellow stripe. Tergites 3 and 4 entirely covered in pale yellow pollinosity, obscuring ground colour beneath. Tergites 2–4 covered with short, dense, pile. Pile on tergite 2 dark anteriorly and medially in an area corresponding with the central dark brown marking, all other pile of tergites pale yellow. All sternites yellow. Genitalia: Epandrium compact, about as long as tall. Cercus approximately triangular. Outer lobe of surstylus inserted near top of outer lobe, abruptly curved downwards at two-thirds its length, swollen at apex. Inner lobe of surstylus broad, approximately 6 times as long as wide, with slight swelling at base, otherwise smoothly broadening towards a rounded apex. Phallapodeme smooth. Gonostylus constricted medially and abruptly darkened.</p><p>FEMALE: Identical except for normal sexual dimorphism.</p><p>Etymology: The specific epithet ‘ apiformis ’ consists of api-, which is the Latin for bee (‘apis’), and -formis, the Latin for “shape, figure, form, or appearance” (‘forma, -ae’). This is in reference to the bee-like appearance of Psilota apiformis, which may grant it some measure of protection from predators.</p><p>Specimens examined: HOLOTYPE: AUSTRALIA: New South Wales: Goondera Ridge, Royal National Park, - 34.114342151.046586,22. viii.1976,G.andA.

Thorax dark metallic and dark blue, abdomen metallic indigo on tergites 3 and 4. Hind leg simple. Halter and calypter dark. Body length: 8.4–11.0 mm.</p><p>Description: MALE: Head: Face black, with a metallic green sheen. Face sparsely yellow pollinose. Face with yellow pile, frons and vertex with black pile. Antenna entirely bright orange. Eye densely pilose, pile entirely yellow. Thorax: Thorax dark metallic blue. Hind femur unmodified, with only a few weak, black setulae apicoventrally. Femora mostly dark, with fore and mid femora obscurely dull orange to brown on apical half. Thorax entirely black pilose. Wing faintly brown tinted, entirely microtrichose. Halter dark brown. Calypter brown. Abdomen: Tergites 1 and 2 dark metallic blue, tergites 3 and 4 metallic indigo blue in most specimens. Tergites 2 and 3 entirely black pilose, tergite 4 mostly black pilose with some mixed white pilosity. All sternites dark metallic blue, white pilose. Genitalia: Epandrium compact, about as long as tall. Cercus approximately triangular. Outer lobe of surstylus inserted near top of inner lobe, smoothly curved downwards at its midpoint. Inner lobe of surstylus narrow, approximately 4.5 times as long as wide, swollen at base, somewhat abruptly constricted at two-thirds its total length, and abruptly swollen and rounded at apex, with the ventral margin curved downwards. Inner lobe of surstylus also with a medially projecting bulge at two-thirds its total length, and upper margin of the tip of the inner lobe curved medially. Phallapodeme with a small ventral tooth. Gonostylus not darkened.</p><p>FEMALE: Identical except for normal sexual dimorphism.</p><p>Etymology: The specific epithet azurea derives from the Latin “azureus”, which means “a deep blue colour”. This is in reference to the distinctive indigo blue abdomen.</p><p>Specimens examined: HOLOTYPE: AUSTRALIA: New South Wales: Bald Rock N.P.; -28.860783 152.055686; on Leptospermum minutifolium blossom, 6-7.XI.1984; D.K.

Hind femur unmodified, with only a few weak, black setulae apicoventrally. Pleuron shining, free of pollinosity. Pile on anepimeron black, pile on remainder of pleuron white. Pile on scutum mostly white, with black pile mixed in on posterior half. Scutellum with mixed black and white pile. Wing colourless. Wing extensively bare, with only scattered microtrichia in the apical one-third of cells r 4+5, dm, and cua. Cell m 4 mostly microtrichose. Calypter white. Abdomen: Abdomen mostly black. Tergites 2 to 4 with the posterior rim faintly metallic blue. Tergites shining, free of pollinosity. Tergites 2 to 4 mostly white pilose, with only posterior margin black. Sternites black. All sternites pale pilose. Genitalia: Epandrium very compact, about 1.5 times as tall as long. Cercus triangular, somewhat elongate. Outer lobe of surstylus inserted at top of inner lobe, thick and curved smoothly downwards over its entire length. Inner lobe of surstylus short, swollen at base, very sharply ventrally constricted at midlength, approximately 3.5 times as long as wide (at base), and rounded at apex. Inner lobe of surstylus also with a narrow medial projection on the dorsal half of the inner surface running the length of the surstylus. Tip of the inner lobe of surstylus curved medially on the dorsal surface, forming a second medial projection. Phallapodeme smooth on ventral surface. Postgonite elongate, extending well beyond the tip of the phallus.</p><p>FEMALE: Unknown.</p><p>Etymology: The specific epithet ‘ calva ’ derives from the Latin calvus, meaning “bald, or bare”. This is in reference to the non-pollinose, shining face of Psilota calva sp. nov.</p><p>Specimens examined: AUSTRALIA: HOLOTYPE: Northern Territory: <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=131.41597&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-13.466557" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 131.41597/lat -13.466557)">Brock’s Creek</a>, Burnside, N.

Initial DNA barcode analysis indicates that at least nine species are represented (Figure 43). Further DNA barcoding and male genitalia dissection are required to adequately separate the full range of specimens into species and will be tackled in a future revision. Furthermore, there are several other species of Psilota described from Australia that may or may not be synonyms of P. cuprea, including P. erythrogaster, P. rubra, and P. rubriventris (See ‘species not here recognized’ below). Because it is impossible to tell what name should properly be assigned to different barcode clusters without a full revision of this complex, these species have not been treated individually.As mentioned in the introduction, an individual from this complex was reared from the “rotten caudex of Xanthorrhoea resinosa ”. The holotype of this species was not available for study.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B33CB310FFB03E6DFF51F968FDEE6289	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, no morphological characters could be found to distinguish specimens that were more similar based on COI than others, and it was therefore treated as a single species. This species has been collected on Leptospermum blossoms. The holotype of this species was unavailable for study but identified material from various collections from across Australia match the original description well.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B33CB310FFAA3E71FF51FB38FC5162AF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

McDonald, CNC1181183 (1♀, photograph only) .</p><p>Discussion: This species has been collected on Leptospermum (Myrtaceae) blossoms. A female specimen was observed ovipositing on the trunk of a Fraxinus angustifolia subsp. oxycarpa (Claret or Caucasian Ash) in Tasmania (Fig. 67). As this tree species is not native to Australia, it likely indicates that P. solata is not species-specific in its larval habitat. However, without successfully rearing larvae out of the tree, it is impossible to say for certain that the larvae can successfully develop in Fraxinus .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B33CB310FFD23E09FF51FAF5FD446783	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Initial DNA barcode analysis indicate that at least 23 species are represented. Further DNA barcoding and male genitalia dissection is required to adequately separate the full range of specimens into species and will be discussed in a future revision. Furthermore, there are several other species of Psilota described from Australia that may or may not be synonyms of P. tristis, including Psilota hirta, Psilota shannoni, and Psilota queenslandica (see ‘species not here recognized’ below). Finally, the type specimens of P. tristis, P. queenslandica, and P. hirta were deposited in Venezuela and were unavailable for study at the time of this publication. Because it is impossible to tell what name should properly be assigned to different Barcode identities without a full revision of this complex, these species have not been treated individually.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B33CB310FFD43E15FF51FF54FA5061B7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Today there is a single female in Oxford from the Bigot collection labeled: “ Psilota / viridis / n. sp. Macq. / ♀ / Nov. Holl./ D. exot. nov. / Holotype / P. viridis EX COLL. BIGOT/Jeff_Skevington_Specimen45697”. This label is of the standard kind used by Bigot (see for example, figure 7 in Thompson (1988)), with the final three labels later added by curators and the author ADY as a unique identifier label for databasing purposes. This specimen is herewith designated lectotype and has so been labeled.</p><p>Psilota victoria Curran, 1925: 7 is a replacement name for the pre-occupied Psilota cyanea Hill, 1921 . This North Queensland species was collected in association with termites in Townsville. Unfortunately, all that remains of the type specimen is a bare pin. Thankfully, Hill deposited non-type material collected from the same location as the holotype in the MNH, including one male. As these exemplars appear to be typical specimens of P. viridis, we have chosen to synonymize the two species. It should be noted that Hill’s original description does not match these specimens exactly, as he described the thoracic pile of the specimens as being black. However, we suspect that this description was erroneous and due to poor optical equipment available to Hill at the time, rather than his holotype specimen differing significantly from the remainder of the series he collected and described as conspecific.</p><p>Unusually for Psilota, frons pilosity colouration varies within P. viridis . In most other cases, this character appears to be useful for delineating species. But, because range, genitalia, and COI barcodes are identical between pale pilose and dark pilose specimens, we refer to this as a single species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B33CB310FFC23E18FF51FE74FC57619B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Face black, densely grey pollinose, with white pile. Thorax black. Hind femur with a distinct rounded apicoventral setulose carina. Hind tibia with basoventral spur. Calypter with dark brown border. Halter orange-brown to dark brown. Abdomen black, with faint metallic blueish-green sheen. Outer lobe of surstylus only slightly curved back towards base of surstylus at apex. Body length: 7.9–13.6 mm.</p><p>Description: MALE Head: Head black, face densely grey pollinose. Face white pilose, frons and vertex black pilose. Scape and pedicel orange-brown, postpedicel brown. Postpedicel oval, approximately 1.5 times as long as wide. Eye densely white pilose. Thorax: Thorax black. Legs mostly black, with extreme apices of femora and most of tibiae orange-brown. Hind femur with a distinct rounded apicoventral setulose carina. Hind tibia with a basoventral spur. Pleuron densely grey pollinose. Pile on pleuron white. Pile on scutum and scutellum mostly black, with some shorter yellow hairs on the scutum. Wing colourless, bare on anterior half of cells bm and cua. Cells c, dm, r 1 with small bare patches at base. Alula completely microtrichose. Halter orange-brown to dark brown. Calypter with border dark brown. Abdomen: Abdomen black, with faint metallic blueish-green sheen. Tergite 2 mostly white pilose, with posterior fifth black pilose. Tergite 3 white pilose anteriorly, black pilose posteriorly. Tergite 4 with mixed black and white pile. Sternites black, and white pilose. Genitalia: Epandrium compact, about as long as tall. Cercus approximately triangular. Outer lobe of surstylus inserted just below mid-height of inner lobe, curved downwards on basal third, with apex of lobe thickened and slightly curved backwards towards base of surstylus. Inner lobe of surstylus more strongly broadened over entire length, with apex rounded. Ejaculatory apodeme with small ventral projection. Gonostylus not darkened.</p><p>FEMALE: Identical except for normal sexual dimorphism.</p><p>Etymology: The specific epithet zophos is derived from Greek, meaning “darkness, or gloom”. This is in reference to the gloomy black colouration of this species.</p><p>Specimens examined: HOLOTYPE: AUSTRALIA: Western Australia: <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=122.11667&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-33.966667" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 122.11667/lat -33.966667)">Cape Le Grand Nat Park</a>; -33.966667</p><p>122.116667; 11.I.1987; G. and A.
