Calomela juncta is certainly the closest fit at this point in time. There is the possibility however, that given the subtleties between species within this group, the unusual splattering of colouration between the coloured lines and the midline of the elytra could indicate this is actually a different species again. I suppose we’ll find out down the track and can amend the identification if required😊
