| Species: | Spotted Ground Weevil (Cubicorhynchus maculatus)| This Photo: | Dorsal | Thank you Kimberi Pullen for identifying and Boris Büche for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere We thought it might have been Cubicorhynchus setosus, but Boris, on Bowerbird, said "NOT setosus (setae too short). 3 similar WA species at least. Species-level ID would need male sexual characters; this weevil assumed female (slightly convex belly)." ~14mm long, covered in short, down-curved, hairs. Notice the unusual little horns on it's face. After 7+ years, Kim saw it on iNat and was able to id to species.
