Hi Tim, I think this one is endemic to Qld. The link to my go-to source for IDs is no longer available so I can't ID at this time.

Thanks Tim, My best source of beetle IDs website link no longer works. I think it linked to Queensland museum but I haven't been able to find a new url if it has changed.
