Popillia acuta is a species of beetle that was described by Edward Newman in 1838. It has been debated whether or not P. acuta is the same species as P. nasuta.[1] It is found in Southwestern India and the East Indies.[2][3]

Adults have a bright and coppery-gold-green body with castaneous antennae. Its clypeus is acute, prolonged, and turned upwards and its elytra testaceous with a bright and metallic lustre. Their terminal segments are gold-green and individuals are about .45 inches (1.1 cm) long and .275 inches (0.70 cm) wide.[3]
