Neocrepidodera transversa
This atttractive beetle was found on Common Fleabane in the corner of a meadow. The specimen went a little mouldy before I examined it but the close-up of the pronotum corner shows the key characters - the smooth area between the punctured basal transverse impression and the rear of the pronotum (eliminating ferruginea, the only Neocrepidera I'd identified before) and the sinuate sides before the hind angle which, among other details, eliminated impressa.

I swept this mating pair from Hemp Agrimony. They were still at it when I got them home.
