Yes, I agree, but it's the only one I can find that comes close. I hope Kim can help. It's a tricky area!

Paropsisterna liturata can be recognised by its very polished, reddish-orange surface, with a vaguely L-shaped black mark on each elytron. Like most Paropsisterna it is associated with eucalypts.
