Aspidimorpha dorsata, is a species of leaf beetle widely distributed in South Asia and South East Asia.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Description[edit]

Body length is about 8 to 10 mm. Body sub-circular. Two variations can occur as continental morph and insular morph. Insular populations lack a humeral spot on the elytral explanate margin. There are dark markings on the disc of the elytra. The continental populations have the humeral spot. Elytral disc is uniformly yellow.^[5]
