The "suggest a missing species" is not working at the moment. I would suggest Calomela parilis (Acacia leaf beetle), visit:

Personally I think its closer to C. bartoni than parilis. The former is the common local species.

I think it is more like C. vittata.

I agree. I had not considered this species.

No black on head, lateral on pronotum, scutellum. Black suture line does not go all the way along. Vittae band is wavy not straight.
