S5 with prominent fringe of white hair, short medially. Remarks. On a single day, significant numbers of this species and E. fultoni were collected in the same area. Without exception, E. elizabethae was taken at different sites from Eremophila deserti, while E. fultoni was found on Eucalyptus sp. Etymology. This species is named in memory of Prof. Elizabeth Exley who contributed so much to the study of the Euryglossinae. Many bee species have been named in her honour, but none in this subfamily.Published as part of Batley, Michael, 2016, New Species of Euryglossula Michener (Apoidea: Colletidae), pp. 245-261 in Records of the Australian Museum 68 (6) on pages 249-250, DOI: 10.3853/j.2201-4349.68.2016.166
