This one from Brazil is not too different, except for the narrower yellow zone. http://travel.mongabay.com/colombia/imag...

I cannot identify your latest bizarre colored beetle Sergio.
I do suspect this is a Pleasing Fungus Beetle and not Chrysomelidae, based on the small toes and clubbed antennae. http://www.sciencephoto.com/media/369428...
