General Species Information:
Found in the Flinders Ranges and possibly elsewhere
Initially we thought this was Gum Tree Shield Bug (Theseus modestus), but when reviewing to post here we realised it didn't look right and that it was too small.
Apart from size, this is also squatter (shorter compared with width) than T. modestus. So hunted thru Gross' volumes and found this species.
