Peltoschema rubiginosa
A small ribbed acacia leaf beetle. It has variable dark spots on the elytra and some times a dark zone on the apex.
On golden wattle.
Supposed to be common enough but I rarely see it. I thought this was Paropsisterna defecta based on labelled specimens in the museum. I now suggest they are mistaken as this keys out to Peltoschema.
