Hi all, Yes this is definitely an Apiocera species. The markings are very distinct and unfortunately I can't provide a species identification as I am not familiar with many of the 67 known Australian species. There is a key to species published by Paramonov in 1953, but I am not sure if one would be able to identify the specimen from the image. I have a PDF of that key if anybody would like to try.
Best wishes
I had already tried Paramonov's key, and it immediately gets into characters you just can't see. Oh well.
