Description Not much is known about these beetles, especially when it comes to their life cycle. Larva from related genera from N. America are ectoparasites to cicada nymphs, so the same could be said for the Australian genera. (I would say its not impossible, since there are often large amounts of cicadas in the areas ive found these beetles).
Males have these feathery antennae, while females have much smaller/reduced antennae.

Hope you enjoy.
