Leaf Beetles - Paria

Leaf Beetles - Paria
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
May 5, 2006
Size: about 3.5 - 4 mm
I hand picked mating pairs of these beetles from a near-water shrub/tree, perhaps willow, that was just leafing out. The photos are likely not all of the same individual.

Has the pattern and size of
Paria fragariae-complex - Strawberry Rootworm. See Tom's image at but seems that there are several similar beetles.

Yes, it is very similar.
To my eye it appears that the antennomeres on Tom's are more bulbous than on mine, but it could be just the angle. I'm placing this at genus level.
