Hello,
I have caught this beetle by beating shrubs not very far from the beach of Tortoise Bay, Bourail, New Caledonia. The size is 2,5 mm.
Is it like I think a Cryptocephalus ?
Thanks for you help.
Dominique

This Chrysomelidae hes been described by Montrouzier in 1861 as Cryptocephalus signaticollis. This taxon has been then placed in the genus Scaphodius and the valid taxon is now Scaphodius signaticollis Montrouzier 1861. |

Sorry, there is a slip / lapsus : it's Scaphodius striaticollis Montrouzier 1861, and not signaticillis... |
