  • Additional notes: In response to a question in a FB group referencing the paper listed at the bottom of the page. "Cryptocephalus brevebilineatus var. page 345, fig 41 page 356"?  Michael Geiser "Yes, according to this key, C. brevebilineatus seems to be the only plausible option. Here at the Natural History Museum (London), we only have a single specimen of brevebilineatus from Vietnam, which belongs to a different colour variety, so it doesn't look exactly like yours. But close enough, I think".
