Thanks Gordon Dietzman.. Highly appreciated.. And I have to agree.. there are some amazing photos and spotting on Project Noah!

We have a similar looking genus in North America called Physonota, the tortoise beetles. I'd guess that your spotting is related somehow, but probably not the same species. See http://bugguide.net/node/view/216036/bgimage for information on one of our tortoise beetles. Nice photograph by the way--the photography is getting really good on this site and this is a very nice photograph. Congrats.
