Paropsisterna rufipes
This small species is diurnal and regularly turns up throughout wet bush habitats in Victoria.
Elytral punctures are in ten symmetrical series but not striate. The pronotum bears slight fovea.
The pink lateral perimeter extends the color to the underside and feet. When confirming the identification of beetles, it is wonderful to find confirmation in etymology. (rufi + pes = red + feet)
