Description (see link) reads closer as the plate I only studied before. ID confirmed as: Walterianella biarcuata (Chevrolat, 1834) http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollections/bca/navigation/bca_12_06_01/bca_12_06_01.cfm?start=454

Pattern of Diabrotica. Current taxonomy extracted from Mexican species list. It may be not biarcuata, but a closely related species.
