Amegilla murrayensis or Amegilla (Zonamegilla) murrayensis is a species of digger bee. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1935 by Australian entomologist Tarlton Rayment, redescribed in 2017 by Remko Leys, Michael Batley and Katja Hogendoorn, and synonymised with A. longula.[1][2][3]
The body length is 11–12 mm, forewing length 8 mm. It is a relatively small species, with pale yellow face markings and narrow, usually pale blue, apical fur bands.[2]
