Hello! I think they are Sphaeroderma testaceum, Chrysomelidae/Alticinae. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hello, Camille! cthirion wrote: Why not Neocrepidoptera ferruginea? Maybe. I don't know that genus from here, so it did not come into my mind. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

I think they are too parallel-sided for Sphaeroderma. I would plump for Crepidodera sp. but would need to have them under the microscope to go to species. Maybe Crepidodera is an old name for Neocrepidoptera? |

Hello, The correct genus is Neocrepidodera, not Neocrepidoptera. Pierre Duhem |
