Metachroma pellucidum
Copyright © 2009 John R. Maxwell

Metachroma pellucidum
Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
July 13, 2008
Size: Maybe around 3.5 mm?
Came to the light at night. I had originally thought Anobiinae, but I now lean towards Chrysomelidae » Eumolpinae » Paria.

For all I know I'm not in the range, or there may be others that look alike.

Post ocularlobes -
seem to separate Metachroma from Paria - shouldn't they be visible in these photos?

Paria is my idea, too

Thanks
It seems that it is either a less marked version of a species we already have, or a species with very little marking at all. This is the only one I see like it here.
