Ornate leaf beetle

Paropsis ornata

Description:

A delightful brown leaf beetle with cream dots arranged roughly in rows along the elytra and on the margin of the pronotum.

Habitat:

On Eucalyptus in Brisbane. Specimen found by Trevor

Notes:

Some beetles have no commonly accepted common name. I suspect the "dotted lines leaf beetle" is named by Chew based on its description. I have chosen the name "ornate leaf beetle" based on the Latin binomial.
