Moved
Both species are in CO, so for now it may be best to just place in species group.

Moved from Chrysolina.

Chrysolina quadrigemina ?
The next nearest are on the east coast, so maybe I'm off a little :)

Do you have...
access to the catalogue by Riley et al (2003) so see what species are in CO? I don't have it handy at work now but can look later.

don't have + introduced maybe?
I don't have any literature like that. If you can check later, I'd really appreciate it. Also a thought. Apparently some of these have been introduced to new areas. I wonder if that's a possibility with CO?

introduced species
often go unchecked and readily spread or get moved around. I will check the CO data later tonight, just to see!

sounds great, thanks! + added the blue one too
Not sure if this helps, but I added the blue beetle as well. On the same plant as the green one.
