This is Oulema cornuta...

as confirmed by Ed Riley at Texas A&M. Thanks for your help, Boris. Much appreciated. Terry

probably.

Dear Terry,

I agree that your picture and Lynette´s will, most probably, show the same species. I just can´t tell if the name is correctly applied.

Try to ask Edward G. Riley (egrchryso-at-tamu.edu), he might be able to tell . . .

Thank you...

Boris, I did as you suggested and will report back when I hear from him. I did a Google search, hoping to find something, and Oulema cornuta shows up just a few times, even then only on lists of Chrysomelidae (no images).

The bituberculate head fits O

The bituberculate head fits O. cornuta well.

Which brings us back to...

, labeled as Oulema cornuta on this image submitted by Lynette Schimming. Could it be this?

not melanopus

The introduced O.melanopus has all red tibiae and a black head. Consequently, this has to be a domestic species.

Boris (from Europe).

Oulema melanopa

This is to me Oulema melanopa; an introduced species from europe. I´m not familiar with the speciesname Oulema cornuta... definitely Oulema...no need for it to be just in beetles

Think so

It looks like a leaf beetle not sure though. Have you noticed that this one has only one antenna?!

… Brittanie Christina McCormack, 21 June, 2006 - 2:38pm

Yes...

...I noticed the antenna. Perhaps it fell into the grasp of a predator? Thanks, Brittanie, for your comments.
