WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 1 decade ago

Abstract: Three new speeies of Euryglossa (Euhesma) (E. aureophila. E. morrisoni and E. semaphore) are described and figured. All are endemic to the Swan Coastal Plain of Western Australia. Euryglossa aureophila and E. morrisoni are monolectic on closely related species of Verticordia and E. semaphore appears to be monolectic on Pileanthus filifolius (all Myrtaceae). Males of E. semaphore are remarkable for their highly modified, spatulate antennae.
