Brown Long-headed Shield Bug

The QuestaGame experts kindly referred to page 12 of http://www.agriculture.gov.au/SiteCollectionDocuments/biosecurity/import/cargo/pests/guide-identification-brown-marmorated-stink-bug.pdf (accessed 14/6/2016). Update: I found an identical bug on ALA that was identified as Oechalia schellenbergii. I will need to double-check if it is actually a synonym or a cryptic species.
