Batley ex Corymbia terminalis in AM (K360277). PARATYPES (7♀♀, 8♂♂, all deposited in AM). 2♀♀, 3♂♂, same data as holotype (K345676–680), 5♀♀, 5♂♂, 4 km NE Barkly Roadhouse (19.681°S 135.849°E), 7 May 2008, M. Batley, ex Corymbia terminalis (K361456–463). Diagnosis. Both sexes recognisable from colour pattern on metasoma. Description. Female.—Head width 1.1 mm, body length 3.5 mm. Relative measurements: HW 50, HL 39, UID 30, LID 25, FVL 11, CW 25, CL 10, FL 24. Head yellow with occiput black and antenna dark brown dorsally. Frons with weak, dense punctures and weak tessellation. Mesosoma yellow except scutum orange-yellow with darker markings approximately along parapsidal lines, propodeum dorsally black with medial yellow patch, laterally yellow. Scutum with dense punctures and weak tessellation. Metasoma yellow with thick black lines running down the sides and across the rear of each tergum to form a linear pattern of contiguous rectangles.

Scutum weakly tessellate with dense punctures. Wing veins weakly pigmented. Metasoma black with S3–5 apically and T 2–4 apicolaterally translucent, preceded by a narrow yellow line, T 6 yellow apically with an orangebrown pygidial plate. Male.—Head width 0.85 mm, body length 2.5 mm. Relative measurements: HW 50, HL 41, UID 32, LID 23, FVL 8, CW 21, CL 9, FL 27.

Metasoma entirely dark brown, or anterior half brown with remainder dark brown. Fringe on S5 dense and plumose except medially. Remarks. The type series carry labels indicating that they were collected from “ Melaleuca sp.”, but were stored in a unit tray containing only the four specimens and a note in the same hand as that on the labels stating “plant is Eugenia eucalyptoides ” (currently known as Syzygium eucalyptoides). Etymology. The species is named after the late Ross Storey who collected the only currently known specimens of this species.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 page 254, DOI: 10.3853/j.2201-4349.68.2016.1665, http://zenodo.org/record/402252
