@Jimbobo @MichaelMulvaney Jim, Could you please undo your verification. This has already been correctly IDed as the Callistomen sawfly of which I am very familiar.
Thanks

@AlisonMilton How did you exclude other Pterygophorus species? I far as I know as with Perginae there has been no diffinitive study of Pterygophorinae larvae.
