Dotted-lines Leaf Beetle - Paropsis sp.
Subfamily Chrysomelinae, FAMILY CHRYSOMELIDAE
This page contains pictures and information a bout Dotted-lines Leaf beetles of Genera Paropsis that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
- Body length 10mm
- We found this Leaf Beetle twice, one on Acacia and the other on Eucalyptus. The beetles were shiny bright, golden brown with dotted creamy-white lines on the back.
- Pictures taken in Mt Cotton early summer. Only one beetle was found on the young Acacia tree. Notice in the second picture a Leafhopper hiding at the back of the beetle.
- Later mid-summer in Karawatha Forest, we found this Leaf Beetle wandering on a gum tree.
- This beetle flied actively so it is hard to say if its host plant is Acacia or Eucalyptus.
