Dicranosterna vexabilis
A small dark orange acacia leaf beetle
Found on Acacia in Northern Australia.
An exciting find. This is the first photographic record of this species. ALA has no records at all. Yet. I have added an image of the reference specimen in the museum. (Daccordi described this one, I think) http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Dicranoste...
