Rhinaria is an Australian genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae and subfamily Cyclominae.[1][2][3]
Description
According to the original description by William Kirby, weevils in this genus have an oblong-ovate body. The labrum is barely distinct while the labium is subtrapezoidal. The mandibles are edentate (without teeth). The maxillae are open ("apertæ"). The palps are very short and conical. The mentum is quadrate. The antennae are entire with closely connected segments and 3-segmented clubs. The thorax is subglobose.[4]
