This specimen is undescribed. It occurs north of your location and right across the top end. It has been recorded by Gunter Maywald of Brisbane and will soon be described and named by him. Until that time, it is Sp 69.
That is a gorgeous beetle. It is almost certainly a Paropsis species. Here is an image of the closest match that I know but I would not presume to know if they are the same. It is certainly not a perfect fit, visually. http://www.forestryimages.org/browse/det...
