Description

Sceloenopla sp. (subfamily Cassidinae, family Chrysomelidae), caught in flight by hand on my cloud forest property, Cosanga, Napo, Ecuador, 2100 meters altitude. It is obviously a member of the huge black & orange mimicry ring I have found in this locale. (It contains ten beetle families that I know of.)
