Ernst, do you have a reference for Castiarina australasiae? It looks like there are many similar species in the genus Castiarina and I am having a hard time confirming the ID for this one. Posted 2 years ago

  Hi Christine , I haven’t got much either and I don’t mind if you want to change it. It might be better but the the image and distribution map might help. https://sites.google.com/site/buprestidpages/castiarina-australasiae.
  I think the pattern in this species is very variable ,but I have no 100% proof . I will just try to search more and wait to see what comes up on INaturalist. Posted 2 years ago

    I really don't know either, but the variable patterns and distribution for Castiarina australasiae make it seem likely. We can add the ID for now and change it later, if needed. Agree? Posted 2 years ago

      Christine, a INaturalist identification for this one came in as Castiarina cupreoflava.
      I have one entry of this species and it looks to me correct.
