Agasta formosa

Agasta formosa is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Chrysomelinae distributed in South China and Indo-Malayan region.

This is the type species of the genus Agasta described by Hope in 1840, which was monotypic genus then. Now it has one more species Agasta annamica. Both species are fairly distinct morphologically.

I met this in Samsing in Paschimbanga. We do not see many records of this species, so if you have seen this please share the information with us.
