Rhynolaccus spp.
Tiny, shiny and black. One of the smallest (and cutest) weevils I've found so far at about 3mm long.
On fine leaved acacia (maybe A dealbata) in a small nature reserve.
The Australian faunal directory has this as synonymous with Myrmacicelus
Yet to find species...

Not more than usual Lauren. Interestingly we don't have many small black shiny ants in Australia. They are generally brown/red. The standard 'Argentinean ant' is taking over the continent though.
Really neat! Were there any ants around?
