Flea beetle, Aphthona, Fiji

June 2017. A flea beetle was observed on capsicum, tomato and bean in Fiji – much like the orange pumpkin flea beetle but a little smaller in size and has a blackish band/stripe along the elytra. Grateful if anyone can help with the ID.

This was identified as Aphthona scutellata by Chris Reid.
