Hi Roger. I considered Episcaphula australis but rejected it because this beetle's thorax is black and E. australis seens to have an orange thorax. Also the shape looks to me to be a little different.

There is another genus of Erotylid that it could be, namely, Thallis. I think we should recert to Erotylidae until someone more expert can put a name to it.
