The body of the beetle is black with numerous irregular orange spots, giving the species its characteristic name of orange spot beetle. [2] Male orange spot beetles are slightly larger than the female orange spot beetles. Little is known about their mating behaviours. The abdomen of a mature beetle is 1 cm long. [2]
Orange spot beetles are mostly confined to two remote regions of north-eastern Australia. [3]
