In this beetle however, there is a well defined zig-zagging balack transverse band running thorugh the middle of the elytra. The elytra also have a pink blush as in my previous spotting.

Habitat:

Spotted at the same place as the beetle in teh previous spotting, on a broom tea-tree.

Notes:

There seems to be at least three variants.
