Hi,
Digging through Franks' site I ended up with Psylliodes chrysocephalus for this 3mm long CHRYSOMELID. Is that correct? 14 nov. 2006.

Hi (Frank),
If you happen to pop into this forum again, please could you tell me if I'm right? Thank you.

Hello Andr?,
yes you are right. Psylliodes can be very difficult sometimes, but this species is very large and common - and send us a good id hint with the red head ;)
Best regards
Frank

Hi Frank,
Thanks:). I was pretty certain, but since you've got the years of experience, I value your judgement high everytime.
So large means here 3-4 mm. How small are the small ones?
