Paropsisterna sp.
About 9mm long; yellow with white spots and a dark dorsal line.
Eucalyptus leaf in open parkland.
Similar to paropsids already spotted but the dark dorsal line seems different. Yellow !! might just be a variant? http://morwellnp.pangaean.net/cgi-bin/sh... https://sites.google.com/site/insectsoft...

Thanks Adarsha. Martin all other images of P variicollis, including yours, show some pale markings on the pronotum. This one has none. Do you think this is important?
