Bronchus incisirostris (Marshall, 1902)
A striking and quite isolated species, which may be readily distinguished from all its congeners by the peculiar structure of the rostrum—especially in the character of the basal horn, the transverse dorsal incision, and the acuminate gene.
Scaling brown and cream-whitish, rather thin, with the inflexed margin and a broad sutural stripe pale.
Rostrum as long as head and prothorax, stout, moderately curved, dilated apically, the whole of the basal portion is strongly raised so as to form a broad thick rounded horn, which is distinctly punctured throughout.
Prothorax covered with small rounded tubercles.
Surface of elytra with rows of small granules.
Length 24 mm.
It occurs in the Cape.
