Paropsis maculata

Seen on Mt Hedrick Oct 2013.

Seen again about Jan 2015 in Moondarra.

Other images can be seen on Brisbane Insects.

There seems to be little variation in this species.

It is verrucose (warty) and the two largest processes are close to the suture and posterior to the middle of the elytra

This insect is scarce in Victoria.

It is certainly one of the brightest beetles in group and very distinctive with yellow blotches on red.
