Mordella hubbsi? - Mordella hubbsi
Claremont, Los Angeles County, California, USA
June 5, 2011
Here are some additional photos of the Mordella seen on Wedge-Leaf Honeydew, Horkelia cuneata ssp. puberula, at the Claremont Colleges' Robert J. Bernard Biological Field Station. I am wondering if this might be Mordella huggsi? The identification section on M. huggsi says that it can be distinguished from other black Mordella by "the ferruginous color of the anterior and middle femora", which seems to fit. The date and location are also consistent.

These photos of other individuals were taken on the same plant:
