	General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere You could easily be forgive for thinking this was a bee, as it scours the Melaleuca flowers. And it's quite timid so hard to get close enough to see details We thought this was A. leonina but Tony Daley said, with our thanks, that while "A. leonina has pale yellow or golden postorbits", so does A. albomaculata. So we've lifted this to genus level.
