    Please _always_ add a country or better yet a location (geotag) to your images. It makes the identification easier or more reliable and the record so much more useful(!) Thanks! :o)
    For now I'm assuming "India" but India is a huge country and I really shouldn't be assuming anything ...
    It's a Clytrinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) close to genus Clytra. I found some images on the internet that carry the name "Diapromorpha turcica" but I do not have a key to check if this could be valid or not. Cheers, Arp

    P.S. The page was off-line yesterday but is back up now:

    P.P.S. Here is a nice description from "The Fauna of British India" (1908):

        Yes, meantime I've found some more info and I'm also pretty much satisfied that the name should be right. Will create the species later tonight ... no time now. Cheers, Arp Posted 7 years ago
