Remarks. Epilachna bistrisignata was described from Bolivia. The specimen from Peru has the elytral spots slightly larger than in Gordon’s (1975) illustration, while the female genitalia are entirely coincident. Both characters separate it from other species with three elytral spots, which have a very different arrangement of spots.
