I agree it's not Neotartessus flavipes.
Protartessus nynganensis is a possibility - see https://idtools.dpi.nsw.gov.au/keys/leafhop/species/pnynganensis.htm - but I haven't found any images of the live insect.

I agree it looks like Fieberiella florii.

Appears to be tribe Plectoderini (in family Achilidae, subfamily Achilinae), but looks different to the species already on Canberra Nature Map.

Thanks, @KimberiRP. If you want to confirm this one, it needs the extra step after the species has been created to come back and confirm it here. :-)

Eutartessus gressitti

It does match Eutartessus gressitti as pictured on iNat and at https://idtools.dpi.nsw.gov.au/keys/leafhop/species/egressit.htm (the latter a dead specimen). Distribution records seem to be confined to the subtropics of north-east NSW and south-east Qld. But it wouldn't be the first time something odd has turned up in the Rainforest Gully!
