transverse scrobe and short scape, as also in its straight fore 
tibie. I find &. stellio to vary in colour from a clean to 
a dirty white (as in the type), lightly spotted with ochre- 
yellow, which, in one specimen, is the predominant colour. 
Rhinaria signifera. 
R. oblonga, supra squamis fulvis brunneisque vestita; prothorace 
utrinque, elytris fascia juxta mediam, albis; lobo inter oculos 
producto, bifido. Long. 6 lin. 
Hab. Australia (interior). 
Oblong, covered above with fulvous scales, passing into 
brown atthe base of the elytra and on the prothorax, the latter 
with the sides white, a broad band of the same colour just 
before the middle of the elytra; front between the eyes with 
a prominent bifid lobe ; rostrum brownish black, scarcely ex- 
cavated anteriorly, scrobe short, transverse ; antenne rather 
elongate, the scape shortish ; prothorax longer than broad, 
narrowed at the apex, granules numerous, glossy black ; scu- 
tellum subcordate, scaly, white; elytra broadest at the base, 
seriate-punctate, interstices raised, each with a row of glossy 
granules, punctures between the interstices partially masked 
by the scales ; body beneath and legs covered with greyish 
scales ; fore tibie nearly straight. 
This species is allied to &. myrrhata ; but, besides the dif- 
ferent colour, the latter has the interocular lobe cleft into three 
ortions, the lower portion, however, being indistinctly divi- 
sible into three, or five in all. 
Rhinaria cavirostris. 
R. anguste oblonga, squamis subaureis vestita ; rostro brevi, antice 
valde excavato ; scrobe profunda, apice incipiente, versus oculum 
valde ampliata. Long. 3 lin. 
Hab. Queensland. 
Narrowly oblong, covered with yellowish, under a strong 
lens somewhat golden, scales; lobe between the eyes promi- 
nent, rounded, entire ; rostrum nearly glabrous, short, deeply 
excavated in front, bounded on each side by a sharp ridge, 
scrobe beginning near the apex, deeply impressed and ex- 
panding towards the eye; antenne pitchy, first joint half as 
short again as the scape and of the two next together; pro- 
thorax longer than broad, anterior margin not narrower than 
the posterior, granules irregularly seattered ; scutellum sub- 
triangular, scaly white; elytra striate, interstices slightly 
raised, each with a row of somewhat distant granules, the
