| A Chrysomelid beetle sample from Tinian, identified on PestNet as Aulacophora quadrimaculata. The host plant was loofa gourd/squash or patola. It has a yellowish color, with a black bar at the top and bottom of the forewing dorsum (one spot at the fore and aft of each forewing, left/right. The beetle is about 6-8 mm long.
PestNet members agreed that it looks like Aulacophora quadrimaculat, but because there is some similarity with other species such as A hilaris, it was thought sensible to look at the male genitalia of the beetle. |
