Leaf beetle

Diabrotica sp.

Description:

Leaf beetle (Chrysomelidae).

Habitat:

Overgrown urban area.

Notes:

Very like this spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/629.... But this one has additional black patches on the lower elytra. I have uploaded a number of very similar beetles which I believe are all Diabrotica sp, in the hopes that someone can help me sort them out down to species level...

I confirm it's a Diabrotica (no opinion on species level)
