The Lipocalliini (genus Lipocallia) is commonly know as a Pebblebug. The pebblebugs are found in the more arid regions of Australia. The Lipocalliini appear to be particularly diverse in NW Australia (although most species remain undescribed).
Pictured here is the first observation (February 2023) in South Australia.
