Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae, Cassidini, Microctenochira cf. vivida. That was a hard one. I first thought it is a Charidotis sp., but the little triangle behind the pronotum looks different there (namly black). I am pretty sure it is a Microctenochira sp. and the closest one I found is Microctenochira vivida. http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/133643381 http://www.sil.si.edu/digitalcollections/bca/bca_12_06_02/pdf/bca_12_06_02_281.pdf
