Moved

Moved from Disonycha leptolineata.

tentatively. More consistent with series of confirmed specimens than with confirmed leptolineata, or near.
- tone of red vivid (orange to scarlet) - vs. pinkish;
- red elytral margin wider than outer white stripe - vs. opposite;
- shape appearing more ovoid - vs. more parallel.

Disonycha

Keys out to D. leptolineata in Ciegler (2007) but not sure if MS is too far beyond the scope of that reference (SC).
