 Hab. Western Australia (Champion Bay). 



This species may be placed after S. pica, Jekel (Ins. Saunder- 

 siana, p. 230), which, inter alia, has the prothorax very narrow an- 

 teriorly. 



Rhinotia cruenta. R. subelongata, robusta, aterrima, prothorace 

 vittis tribus, elytrisque sordide rubris, orbitis oculorum maculis tribus 

 albidis; rostro basi creberrime et grosse punctato, ])unctis ajncem 

 versus sensim niinoribus et rarioribns ; protliorace basi dilatato, latcri- 

 bus valde rotundato, angulis posticis obsoletis, dorso profunde, et in 

 medio late excavato, supra tenuiter granuluto ; scutello quadrate, 

 nigro; elytris subrugoso-punctatis, apice conjunctim rotundatis, sin- 

 gulo lineis quatuor parum elevatis indeterminatis ; infra pedibusque 

 atris; abdomine nitido; antennis articulis externis latis. Long. 

 8 1in. 

 Hab. Western Australia. 



A stouter species than the rest of its congeners, of a heavy 

 brick-red coloui', and a prothorax strongly rounded posteriorly, 

 the excavation above extending from the apex to tlie base. It is 

 found on the black-boy {Kinyia australis). 



Ctenaphibes. 

 (Eurhy nchinse. ) 

 Eurhyncho valde affinis ; sed antennis pectinatis. 



No other instance of pectinated antennae is,I believe, known among 

 the Curculionidaj ; but, although in other respects perfectly con- 

 formable to Earhynchus, there can bo no hesitation in marking 

 this unexpected exceptiou by generic distinction. The elon- 

 gations commence at the third joint, and they go on sliglitly in- 

 creasing in length to the tenth ; these elongations are a little con-
