Acacia leaf beetle

Monolepta cf. subsuturalis

Description:

A very small beetle found on black wattle (Acacia mearnsii?) Seems to have some pointy tail beyond short elytra? Only 2 shots unfortunately. Estimated at 4mm long.

Habitat:

In a local nature reserve.

Notes:

Not fully happy with servitude's ID but thanks Martin for finding it. His beetle is obviously the same as mine but no other images support that name match. Tas Forestry has something eltirely different? http://www.tfic.net.au/SpeciesPages/Mono...
