You are in the right genus, but I think the species is incorrect.

Disonycha glabrata does not have over 3 pronotal spots, and the elytral bands are not a match. In. D. glabrata, the marginal edge of each elytron is black.

Disonycha alternata looks like a better possibility! What do you think?

    I'm not 100 percent sure (Arp would probably be able to confirm an ID better than me!), but it looks like a closer match! Posted 7 years ago
