RHINARIA ABERRANS, n. Sp. 
Upper surface sparsely, legs moderately, under surface 
densely clothed with whitish scales. ^ Prothoracic punctures 
with indistinct larger scales. Rostrum glabrous. 
Head densely punctate ; crests entirely absent, but a feeble 
longitudinal impression between eyes. Rostrum strongly 
convex, base not raised above the rest, but thickened between 
eyes; flanks rather strongly but not densely punctate. 
Funicle with the second joint as long as scape and slightly 
longer than first; club elongate-ovate, much stouter than 
funicle, longer than three preceding joints combined. Pro- 
thorax with small granules, sides with rounded punctures. 
Elytra with series of large quadrate punctures, interstices 
regular or feebly alternately raised, much narrower than 
punctures; not granulate. Punctures of under surface more 
or less concealed, but apparently large and scale or seta bear- 
ing. Claw joint rather stouter, the claws smaller than 
usual. Length, 6; width, 221; variation in length, 41-6 mm. 
Hab.—W.A.: Mount Barker (R. Helms). 
A very small species. The absence of frontal crests, the 
long second joint of funicle, and the great (proportionate) 
width of the club are at variance with the other species be- 
longing to Rhinaria. Of four Specimens under examination 
three appear to be partially abraded, but one I believe to be 
in perfect preservation. 
RHINARIA CONVEXIROSTRIS, n. Sp. 
Densely clothed with greyish or very pale brown scales, 
paler on scutellum, under surface, and legs than elsewhere: 
the elytra with a distinct blackish fascia beyond middle, 
which is narrowed, and more or less interrupted towards 
suture. Prothoracie and elytral punctures with larger scales. 
Rostrum glabrous. 
Head densely punctate; crests moderately large, feebly 
curved, indistinctly united in front. Rostrum convex; 
flanks irregularly, but not coarsely or densely, punctate. 
Club elongate-ovate, slightly longer than three preceding 
joints combined. Prothoraz with large round punctures, 
the walls of which are frequently broken so as to cause glossy 
depressed granules to appear. Zlytra with series of mode- 
rately large and somewhat rounded punctures; interstices 
regular, much narrower than punetures, each with a row of 
reddish, glossy granules, which become very small towards 
apex. Under surface densely punctate, each puncture bear- 
ing a more or less setose scale, those on the sterna being 
scarcely stouter than on the abdomen. Length, 9; width, 4 
(vix.); variation in length, 83-10 mm.
