striped only on the apical half of its middle. From sulcirostris, to 

 whicli also it is very close, it differs in the prothoracic clothing 

 being sparser, not forming spots across the middle, and with the 

 apparent granules larger. On the elytra also the granules are much 

 more conspicuous, and are not conlined to the basal portion. The 

 crests on the head are but little more conspicuous than on Peloro- 

 rJiinus crassiis and sparsus, and the general shape of the rostrum is 

 much the same ; and in fact this species (except that it has not got 

 the « look » of a Pelororliinus) might have been referred to that 

 subgenus. 



One of the Belgian Museum specimens was labelled (almost 

 certainly in error) as from Fiji. 



226. Rhinaria concavirostris Lea. 



Three specimens from N. W. Australia (Derby, Belgian Museum ; 

 Carshalton, Berlin Museum and Roebourne G. French) belong to 

 this species, but differ from the types in being slightly smaller, 

 and with the elytra conspicuously mottled or speckled throughout, 

 instead of having a wide black median fascia.
