Buon giorno!

Scusa per scrivere in inglese.

This 3,7mm Chrysomelidae is from May from the east of Mallorca. For me it looks like Neogalerucella pusilla, but there are some details, that doesn't fit well: The antennal segments are too short (they should be at least 2 time as long as broad in N. pusilla). And the 4. tarsal segment of the hind legs is very long here (should be shorter than 2+3 in N. pusilla).

Does someone know what it is?

Grazie,
Michael

Hello,

yes, the description of the genus fits perfectly (simle or seemingly simple) claws etc. Monoxis obesula is also recorded from Mallorca (2015). Thank you.
