Calomela bartoni (common name Acacia leaf beetle)[2] is a beetle in the Chrysomelidae (leaf beetle) family, which is found in New South Wales and Victoria.[1]
It was first described by Joseph Sugar Baly in 1856 as Australica bartoni,[1][3] It was redescribed as a new species, Calomela nigricornis by Arthur Mills Lea in 1903,[1][4] but in 2006 Chris Reid judged these two species to be synonymous; the appropriate genus to be Calomela; and therefore, since Baly's description was prior to that of Lea the species name became Calomela bartoni.[1][5]
Ecology
Trevor Hawkeswood reports its larvae as feeding on Acacia decurrens.[6]
