FAMILY CHRYSOMELIDAE
- This page contains pictures and information about Brown Swarming Leaf Beetles that we found in the Brisbane area,
Queensland, Australia.

- Body length 8mm
-
- The beetle was found near Bulimba Creek in Sunnybank during early summer Nov
2007. They merge and swarm after the first heavy rains of the summer
season.

- We miss-identified this leaf beetle as Rhyparida clypeata. Chris Reid
sent us email advised this is a Rhyparida but definitely not clypeata which is only found in the tropics.
