Ah-Ha!

Good catch, Yurika. I totally missed that. :) I apologize for my mistake. The picture doesn't clearly show the number of spots on the specimen. But since you pointed it out, I see that you are right. I stand corrected.
This is a Six-Spotted Neolema (Neolema sexpunctata)

Not a Four-Spotted, but a Six-spotted
