Paropsisterna obliterata
Here is a different one. A mainly yellow leaf beetle with complex pattern of dark markings on its back.
On young eucalyptus together with P. variicollis.
This seems to be in the "nobilitata' complex including http://lifeunseen.com/index2_item_6410.p... P. gloriosa http://www.bowerbird.org.au/observations... P. debilis http://www.padil.gov.au/pests-and-diseas... P. nobilitata (?) http://www.flickr.com/photos/nuytsia_pix...

well done martini!
Hey, I've found the ID. It is Paropsisterna
http://www.forestryimages.org/browse/det...
Thanks Mark. This yellow bellied beetle is not a contender for P. variicollis but it is still a mystery.
A nice one to add to the collection. No arguments going on with P variicollis ?
