Looks very much like Lemidia leoparda. There seems to be some variation with the middle spot shape and the wings range from yellow, orange to red. I’m not familiar enough with this beetle to say with conviction that it is Lemidia leoparda so I’ll Verify it at Genus-level as you have Suggested. I’ll also pop in the additional Suggestion at Species-level so someone with more experience might be able to confirm (or offer alternate ID) for you😊

I'm pretty sure it is a Stigmatium sp. but it could be Stigmatium victoriae or another Stigmatum sp.
