Ed Riley says:
"This is either C. (Chaerocassis) purpurata (Boh.) or C. (Chaerocassis) ormondensis (Blatch.). I am not yet convinced these are actually two different species."

I do not agree this is a gold
I do not agree this is a golden tortoise beetle. I believe this to be a Helocassis

Plagiometriona?
That'd be the same as Plagiometriona correct? I know there's some discrepancy between BugGuide taxonomy and the literature on that group, but it seems like the group itself needs a good revision.

Assuming they're the same, Helocassis has much more rugose elytra than the individual in the photos.
