Paropsisterna rufobrunnea

Orange or red leaf beetle with about 16 striae, 8 on each elytron. It's mostly found in Victoria with a few records from NSW. Would appreciate any records from the ACT. This beetle is closely related to Paropsisterna sexpustulata with identical shape and highly glossy elytra, but lacking the six elytral marks. Setose larvae are also identical. An intermediate form with six pale marks occurs in SE NSW and reaching into the tip of Victoria, uncertain how to include this form.
