"In intricata two extra lines in middle of wing covers, pronotal markings are two comma-shaped ones rather than a central line." (see iNat comparison). In this specimen, the two extra lines are not there and the pronotal marking is a central line. Unfortunately, I think that it is the more common E. australasiae.

@jb2602 Hi, Kim Pullen, Sturat and I discussed this in detail tonight comparing the two species and came to the conclusion that it is a Fiddler beetle with same differention in the markings.
