Probably Diorhabda sublineata
This female is probably Diorhabda sublineata based on a male D. sublineata found at this location and the length of 6.8 mm, which is well within the 4.9-7.4 mm range for D. sublineata, but at the upper end of the range of 5.0-7.0 mm for D. carinulata (Tracy and Robbins 2009)

Moved per Shawn Clark's offline communication:
"Probably Diorhabda carinulata."

Moved from Leaf Beetles.

Great!
That means that there were two Diorhabda species present at the same location and date.
