- The beetle was found in the rainforest near Mt Nebo. When we tried to take its photos, it ran quickly on leaves and stem of the host plant, then flied away to other plants few meters near by. The beetle has the pale brown thorax and head. The wing covers are shiny dark blue in colour with a thin white line on outer edges.
- Thank to Chris Reid for the identification of this leaf beetle.
