Thanks for your photo David. I have downloaded the original photo, cropped it and added it back to aid in identification.

Thanks Michael! I can see the difference in the head markings now. Interesting to read it is a pest of Eucalyptus in NZ

Very similar to P. sexpustulata which is more coastal and octosignata, local shown in my book.
