I just checked my specimens and I have collected gemmelli from Caparra which is a bit further south from this record.

Yes definitely Temognatha gemmelli. The pronotum is more finely punctured than T. suturalis which it can be mustaken with.
The record is a fair way south and might be close to its southern limit of distribution. The species stronghold is northern NSW however I have caught it up as far as Rockhampton in wetter sclerophyll habitats

Hi Michael. I recall seeing the ID confirmed by Allen s somewhere today but couldn't find it again? A check of available reference material pretty much confirms it and being no 'temog' expert that's the best I can do. Our jewel beetle moderator Mark Hanlon is as good as they get on this genus, his opinion would be definitive I reckon.
