Pictured here is the Leioproctus (Ceratocolletes) xanthosus on Haemodorum planifolium (Blood Root Lily) in Ballandean, Queensland. Interesting photo observation, the expanded antennae tips.
At the time researching, we found only two species of Leioproctus (Ceratocolletes) showing up in PaDIL so this being Leioproctus (Ceratocolletes) xanthosus, as the other one, Leioproctus (Ceratocolletes) antennatus appears to be only in Western Australia.
