Phyllotreta chalybeipennis
Block Island, Washington County, Rhode Island, USA
August 4, 2016
One of a dozen or so found on a lone Cakile edentula, west side of Sandy Point (north end of West Beach.) Sikes (2004) listed the species from Block Island but noted that it is "possibly declining or gone from mainland RI due to competition from closely related nonindigenous Phyllotreta cruciferae."
