625E1317D5E4E100A85AD1D0E51018AF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Amegilla alpha is easily distinguished from all other Australian Zonamegilla species by the orange hair covering the dorsal surface of the metasoma in both sexes, superficially resembling that in Asaropoda species. The yellow paraocular marks and facial profile of females, the unmodified apical margins of S 4 and S 5 of males, and for both sexes the presence of hairs in 1 st medial cell and most other cells of the forewing, separate it from Asaropoda.	en	Leijs, Remko, Batley, Michael, Hogendoorn, Katja (2017): The genus Amegilla (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Anthophorini) in Australia: A revision of the subgenera Notomegilla and Zonamegilla.

D1AF3360A6EBC74818B7758E813C2BB0.taxon	discussion	Discussions for synonymy. Based on examination of the type material, we concur with Meade-Waldo's (1914) decision to synonimise Amegilla emendata and Amegilla gilberti and Brooks's (1988) decision to synonymise Amegilla lilacine. Meade-Waldo (1914) suggested that Smith's (1879) description of the type of emmendata as a female is a typographical error. Although the holotype of Amegilla fabriciana does not have that name attached, it is the only specimen found bearing the name " Anthophora Amegilla cincta, Dours " and the other attached information is consistent with Rayment's references to " wattle-and-daub walls " (Rayment 1935), " a remarkably large female from a plaster cell. Maitland " (as Anthophora gilberti in Rayment 1939), which became " Dours's bee ... from the Hunter River " (Rayment 1941). Tergites 5 and 6, and the corresponding sternites, were missing from the specimen, presumably because they were mislaid after being used in the production of Fig III, 2 in Rayment (1941). Despite repeated references by Rayment to a length of 18 mm, our estimate is that the length of the intact specimen would have been 15 mm. All observable features of the specimen are consistent with its belonging to A. cingulata.	en	Leijs, Remko, Batley, Michael, Hogendoorn, Katja (2017): The genus Amegilla (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Anthophorini) in Australia: A revision of the subgenera Notomegilla and Zonamegilla.

Amegilla murrayensis is a relatively small species with pale yellow face marks and narrow (about 0.3 x the width of the disc on T 2) apical hair bands which are usually pale blue, occasionally with an orange tint, but never bright orange; female hind tibia with a dark streak at least 0.5 x as long as the tibia; T 5 with a patch of scattered white hair that narrows laterally and with a longitudinal line of denser white hair that does not intrude significantly into the prepygidial fimbria. Both sexes can be distinguished from other species by hair bands on T 1 - 4 that appear broader laterally below the gradulus because of numerous scattered pale hairs on the disc (Figs 16, 17).	en	Leijs, Remko, Batley, Michael, Hogendoorn, Katja (2017): The genus Amegilla (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Anthophorini) in Australia: A revision of the subgenera Notomegilla and Zonamegilla.

119363475F27A348EFE18589943F53CC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Amegilla viridicingulata is a distinctive species with orange-brown scutal pubescence, tergal hair bands with green iridescence and orange hair on the hind legs in both sexes. Females have a hind tibial scopa without a dark streak and T 5 with a broad area of scattered white hair above the fimbria (Fig. 36). Males have pale hair across the sterna, particularly S 3, 4 and a distinctive S 7 (Fig. 49).	en	Leijs, Remko, Batley, Michael, Hogendoorn, Katja (2017): The genus Amegilla (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Anthophorini) in Australia: A revision of the subgenera Notomegilla and Zonamegilla.
