Zusammenfassung:New observations are provided on the adult food plants of the Australian belid weevil, Rhinotia haemoptera Kirby. Adults were observed during late September 1994 in the lower Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia, on the following plants, i.e. Acacia linifolia (Vent.) Willd., A. obtusifolia A. Cunn., A. suaveolens (Sm.) Willd. and A. ulicifolia (Salisb.) Court (Mimosaceae) and Hakea dactyloides (Gaertn.) Cav. (Proteaceae), either feeding on the leaves, seed pods or flowers. The new data are discussed with previously recorded data for the beetle.
