Paropsisterna sp#112 This alternately striped beetle is undescribed with museum specimen in the 'unsorted' category.  Actually there is only one, and I have seen it only once more so it might be rare.  Who knows?  The head has an unusual structure with a unique second ridge joining the eyes.  The elytral punctures are zigzag.   It is closest to Paropsisterna intacta.   Australia,Geotagged,Paropsisterna,Summer Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
