RHINARIA CAUDATA, n. Sp. 
Densely clothed with small scales, varying from ashen grey 
to dingy black; prothorax with a feebie median line арі 
several small spots of pale scales; elytra with three dark, 
oblique fascie: a narrow one at base (commencing on shoul- 
ders), a wide one (very indistinct towards suture) about 
middle, and an indistinct one near apex. Rostrum glabrous 
except for a few bristles at apex. 
Head densely punctate, punctures confluent in front and 
causing numerous short ridges to appear; crests stronglv 
curved, conjoined in front. Rostrum gently concave; flanks 
coarsely and irregularly punctate. Club shorter than three 
apical joints of funicle, the apical joint of the latter with a 
little of the club's sensitised pubescence. Prothorax densely 
punctate, each puncture containing a small shining granule, 
each of which is punctured in middle. Elytra suddenly and 
largely narrowed at apical fourth, each separately produce 
at apex; seriate-punctate, punctures large, subquadrate; 
interstices narrower than punctures, third, fifth, and seventn 
distinctly raised; at base and sides with small, shining, red. 
dish granules. Under surface with moderately dense, large, 
round, and deep punctures. Length, 10%; width, 44 ; varia- 
ticn in length, 105-12 mm. 
Hab.—N.S.W.:  Riverstone (Miss King), Galston (S. 
Dumbrell). 
A very distinct species. Many of the abdominal and a 
few of the sternal punctures do not bear scales or sete. On 
one of the specimens the elytral granules are almost black, 
and the scales are so dense as entirely to conceal the punc- 
tures of the upper surface. 
RHINARIA CONCAVIROSTRIS, n. Sp. 
Denseiy clothed with scales varying from ashen grey (pale 
on under surface and legs) to dingy brown or black; frontal 
crests pale ochreous; prothorax with three feeble longitudi- 
nal stripes of pale scales; elytra with the pale scales cover- 
ing the majority of the surface; the dark scales forming a 
wide fascia beyond middie (narrowed towards suture) and 
somewhat blotchily distributed towards base and apex; scu- 
tellum with white scales. Punctures of prothorax and 
elytra with larger spathulate scales, becoming setose in 
middle of the former. Rostrum glabrous. 
Head with dense punctures which are partially confluent 
in front, crests moderately large, feebly curved, narrowly 
but distinctly separated throughout. Rostrum feebly con- 
cave; base considerably elevated; flanks not very coarsely 
but irregularly punctate. Club slightly longer than three 
preceding joints combined. ^ Prothorar with large round
