Epilachna vigintioctopunctata (28-spotted potato ladybird or Hadda beetle)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henosepilachna_vigintioctopunctata
Three species of Epilachna, E. sumbana, E. vigintioctopunctata and E. vigintisexpunctata, can be separated only by close examination.
Good images of the tips of the elytra can be used to separate sumbana (apices rounded) from vigintioctopunctata and vigintisexpunctata (apices 'distinctly angled'). The latter two can be separated only on examination of the genitalia.
Epilachna vigintioctopunctata is listed in the following regions:
Canberra & Southern Tablelands | Southern Highlands | Albury, Wodonga | South Coast | New South Wales North Coast
