Castiarina rectifasciata (Rectifasciate jewel beetle)

(Saunders, 1868)

Easily confused with other 'black n yellow' trifasciate jewel beetles in our area though elytra is heavily costate (furrowed) and its overall reflections (of the black areas) are blue/purple.

ALA has many sightings (233) listed though primarily in the Sydney region and in southern VIC.

Barker's 'Castiarina' has lengths as male: 11.6mm and female: 13mm

Castiarina rectifasciata is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands

Species page sighting lists are under redevelopment and will return very soon.
