 Found on Mortlock River Road private property just north of Great Eastern Highway, NW of Cunderdin, Western Australia, Australia on 20.XI.2018. More and bigger pics here.

Saropogon sp.? Very similar to this one seemingly IDed as that genus.

Or maybe Thereutria sp.? Looks close to this one as well.

 Seems to match Saropogon (Lycomax) flavofacialis quite well. The iNat specimen is the same but misidentified.
