A 7 mm long beetle with tapering striated elytra, an elongated prothorax and segmented antennae. The elytra on this beetle were a very dark brown with a broad slightly lighter brown panel along the inner margins. Legs were dark with thick femurs.
Spotted on leptospermum in a reserve.
Pity I could not get a close-up of the tarsi.
