( Fig. 1E )

Chrysomela disrupta Rogers 1856: 34 .

Riley et al. (2003) listed this species from Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Mexico. They rightly doubted the reported occurrence in Ontario. The insects have been associated with various species of Ambrosia ( Asteraceae ) ( Clark et al. 2004).
