Looks like a female Castiarina imitator to me.
I think the species groups of Barker can be quite fluid and sometimes fairly subjective (Shelley would be happy to confirm this I’m sure!) so I would discount that until you get a chance to compare this specimen with other Castiarina imitator at ANIC.

The elytra of this beetle have smooth intervals (spaces between the rows of punctures). This eliminates Castiarina imitator - a member of Barker's 'bella species-group' in his 2006 Castiarina book - as one of the defining chararacters of that group is 'dorsal surface with close heavy punctures', giving that surface a matt appearance.

Understanding which species occur within a bioregion and eliminating those which do not match with habitat and morphology is a good means at arriving to species level. X. glauca angustifolia and X. resinosa are the only other candidates in this area, neither of which resemble this specimen.
Xanthorrhoea concava

This specimen may indeed be X. concava, however Xanthorrhoea resinosa cannot be rules out. This is an affiliated species to X. concava. The leaves do appear narrow for X. concava and the crown has a tidy symmetrical habit, X. concava typically can appear to have a more untidy appearance.

The growth habit and characteristics and geographic location of this specimen do not fit with X. australis. X. australis does not even occur in the Canberra region. This plants appears subterranean-branched with more than a single crown, and the flower scape is too long in relation to the spike. The geographic region and morphology is clearly X. concava.
