Nisotra bicolorata is a species of flea beetle in the family Chrysomelidae found in Australia . Coleopterologist Ernő Csíki discovered and first described the beetle in 1940.[1] As the scientific name suggests, N. bicolarata is two-colored, with its top half reddish-brown and its bottom half black. The beetle feeds on Hibiscus tiliaceus, also known as native hibiscus.[2]
