Rhipicera carinata is a species of beetle in the genus Rhipicera . [1]
This species was first described in 2013. [1] The species epithet has been derived from the Latin "carinatus", keel shaped, in reference to the median longitudinal frontal carina. [1] R. carinata closely resembles R. reichei but differs in the black femora and vertex usually bearing longitudinal ridge. [1]
It is widely distributed and common in Western Australia and less common in South Australia.
