Chalcopteroides sp.
An attractive ovoid beetle about 8 to 10 mm long. Its dark elytra catch the light to reflect blue, green and purple colours giving them a metallic sheen. The antennae were held out and segments were so small that they had a beaded appearance. Head was held perpendicular to the body and difficult to see.
Spotted on Goodenia plant but they are usually under Eucalyptus bark.
Probably lost ! Family: Tenebrionidae
