Calligrapha diversa

Body slender, not strongly convex. Head, labrum, mandibles, antennae, pronotum, scutellum, epipleura, elytral markings, ventral surfaces and legs black with feeble bronzy metallic reflection. Antennomeres 2–5 elongated, thin, relatively smooth and almost glabrous; antennomeres 8–11 thicker, widening from base to apex, rugose and pubescent; first antennomere relatively long and thick, straight at posterior border, convex at anterior border, narrow basally. Mandibles large, sturdy, largely protruding beyond labrum, strongly punctured except at molar area, punctures with long translucent whitish thick setae. Clypeus with finer punctures, delimited by a broad U-shaped clypeal suture. Pronotum microreticulate, sparsely and irregularly punctured on disc with relatively strong punctures, punctures disappearing or becoming finer laterally on disc, and stronger, confluent at sides; anterior border nearly straight behind head, finely margined, moderately produced anteriorly at angles, with slightly broader margin. Hypomeral suture deep, nearly reaching base of pronotum. Prosternal process narrow between coxae, rather convex. Elytral markings: subsutural stripe nearly entirely confluent with sutural stripe except in basal 1/10, free divergent basal ends for length of five punctures; humeral spot elongate, totally confluent laterally with humeral lunule; apical spot round, as big as previous marking, free; seven additional medium sized roundish spots diagonally arranged in a 3-2-1-1 pattern.
