@DiBickers - thank you for all your work in IDing so many beetles. I'm just wondering about the identification of this species? Over the years, I've found this particular beetle almost exclusively in Bursaria spinosa, or very close to bursaria. I gave a specimen to @RogerF for examination and description, but am not sure on the outcome? Thank you again

Lamprolina discoidalis

Looking closely at the black and white forewing pattern and taking into account the sighting location I suggest the species as Synemon leucospila.

I think the brown southern and western ones are Poecilasthena xylocyma, while not all have barcodes those that do fall into the same bin as Poecilasthena xylocyma

Apparently widespread, otherwise knwn from Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia.
