Aulacophora is a genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, commonly known as pumpkin beetles; some species are pests of agricultural crops. The genus was named in 1836 by the French entomologist Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat , in Dejean 's Catalogue des Coléoptères .
This beetle forms aggregations of several individuals, often with beetles of the genus Brachinus. [2] When disturbed it releases a volatile that contains undecane . [ 2 ] Its coloration may be aposematic mimicry of the similarly colored Brachinus beetles it lives with, which emit a much more powerful antipredator volatile mix.
Aulacophora dorsalis can reach a length of about 6–8 millimetres (0.24–0.31 in). The basic color of these beetles is yellowish, with two black transversal bars at the top and bottom of the elytra.
