Yes, I suspect it is pitted.
Thanks Martin. I'm sorry to say this pic is so bad there may actually be some pitting there :( I'll check it out later.
Argy Bee. I think I've seen this one before but cannot place it now. Phoracantrha has several species illustrated here but they all have pitted elytra. http://agspsrv34.agric.wa.gov.au/Ento/ic...

Thanks bayucca - PADIL is dead for me :( phoracantha looks close.
Good suggestions Ashish... looking now... thank you.
Or Prioninae family...?
Can this be of Anobiidae family....?
Phoracantha would also be my first guess, ehmm... second guess, since the first one was completely out of the row...
Might be a Cerambycinae, but Revurva has broader body and different markings in my eyes...
