Yes, I don't think that there are images of this species anywhere other than in the publication

Thanks Stephen. I'm checking the CSIRO ladybird site which shows images of only two of the 80 species in the Diomus genus.

It is a somewhat variable species, but there are photos in this publication: http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.3161/00...
