''Paropsistrna m-fuscum'' is a small beetle commonly called a leaf beetle in the subfamily Chrysomelinae. The beetles are pale, with variable brown markings on the elytra and pronotum and sometimes with bright flaring at the base of the elytra. The larvae are larviform and pale green like the leaves they eat.
