SUMMARY
Allograpta latifacies belongs to a group, subgenus Claraplumula, characterized by: face straight, with tubercle; oral opening about twice as long as wide, with oral apex at level of antennal base; antennal pits broadly separated; plumula well developed, long; subscutellar pile fringe abundant, dense; wing extensively microtrichose, only narrowly bare basally, without apical dark macula; alula broad, about 1.5 times as broad as cell BM; metasternum pilose; abdomen oval (Mengual et al. 2009).
Allograpta latifacies is the only known species from this subgenus. Readily recognized by the large head, the four pairs of large yellow spots on the abdomen, and the smoky wings.
