Timarcha goettingensis, commonly known as the Small Bloody-nosed Beetle or the Lesser Bloody-nosed Beetle is a species of leaf beetle native to Europe.[1] [2]
T. goettingensis is a shiny blue-black, violet-copper, or black beetle measuring 8 - 13 mm in length. Visually it may be confused with Timarcha tenebricosa, but this beetle is larger (11 - 18 mm) and is more constricted on the base of its pronotum than T. goettingensis.[3] Timarcha goettingensis may also be visually confused with Chrysolina sturmi.
