About 30mm long overall. Mostly black with fine pale setae around head and thorax; abdomen had several fine white bands on shiny black and was somewhat dorso-ventrally flattened; femurs part reddish-brown.
Exploring the newer leaves of Olearia sp. in a local nature reserve
Still searching for genus and species. (Quite similar to the male Diamma bicolor)
