    Metylophorus novaescotiae seems to be reported mostly from the Americas. Closest I can find is Clematostigma maculiceps, which does occur in Australia and especially in the South. Let me know what you think? Posted 2 months ago

      Initially l believed that it was Metylophous novaescotiae but the novaescotiae name made me realise that this would have to be from the Americas. Your suggestion is the more likely one but I will search a bit more. Thank you for your help. Posted 2 months ago
