Asphaera sp., Chrysomelidae
Possibly a member of Endomychidae family (Handsome Fungus Beetles) but I am fairly sure it's the Chrysomelidae family (leaf beetles) The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families.
Spotted in the rainforest in Milpe, Ecuador
Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae, Alticini, Asphaera sp., closer is not possible without the native specimen. Asphaera is like Omophoita a huge and tricky genus.
To me, all of those look more like members of Endomychidae family (Handsome Fungus Beetles) or Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles); but not Ladybirds (antennae are too long...)...
