Colorful leaf beetle. Paropsisterna gloriosa has four yellow dots on the elytra. The rear pair extend outwards and backwards diagonally extending to the yellow vitta (stripe) along the side of the cell of the elytra. The yellow regions touch, or nearly so.
The species is native to Australia where it is a plantation pest on eucalypts, and has been accidentally introduced to the Eucalyptus-growing areas in the world.
