subfamily Buprestinae » tribe Stigmoderini » subtribe Stigmoderina
Castiarina species group: atricollis
Rather narrow elongate-oblong body shape with sides of pronotum and elytra straight for much of their length. Similar to C. atricollis but smaller and narrower, with the elytral background red or orange instead of yellow and the dark fasciae tending to be thicker.
Related to C. atricollis and like that species strongly associated with leguminous plants (family Fabaceae).
Saunders 1869 based his description on a type specimen from Adelaide with the elytra 'reddish testaceous' in colour.

| number of active beetles, actually recorded in that quarter-month |
| estimate of active beetles, inferred* from adjoining date ranges |
| actual count > 2 (median) |
| actual count <= 2 (median) |
| live non-emerged (inactive) beetles only |
| *Inferred when a site has counts of active beetles for each of two consecutive
periods (date ranges), one finishing and the other starting in the same
quarter-month. The count estimate is assigned to that quarter-month and calculated
as the lower of the two total beetle counts, divided by the number of quarter-months
in its date range.

adult | live = extracted alive; dead = extracted dead as intact or fragmentary remains; ex billet = reared and emerged from stored sections of host; ex pupa = reared from sampled pupa |
pupa | extracted pupa; pupa ex larva = reared pupa from larva |
larva | extracted larva (any stage including prepupa) |
gall (only) | hatched or unhatched gall identified by form and position rather than contents |
