Popis: Paropsisterna Motschulsky, 1860 Type species: Notoclea sexpustulata Marsham, 1808, by original designation. A key identifying the genus Paropsisterna in Australia, generic description and full generic synonymy are provided by Reid (2006). The new species is a typical member of Paropsisterna. From other European genera of Chrysomelinae (Mohr, 1966; Bienkowski, 2004; Borowiec, 2011), the adult of Paropsisterna is easily distinguished by: colour loss after death; apical maxillary palpomere strongly expanded to apex; trichobothria absent from pronotal angles; pronotum with complete marginal beading; procoxal cavities wide open; elytral epipleura hidden in lateral view (internally reflexed) and without setae; anterior of mesoventrite deeply hollowed to accommodate apex of prosternal process; apices of tibiae not abruptly expanded; mid and hind tibiae excavate on outer apical third; third tarsomere not deeply bilobed; claws acutely toothed; abdominal ventrites not fused. The larva is distinguished from other western European genera (Cox 1982; Steinhausen 2001) by: single pair of dorsal glands between abdominal segments 7 and 8, transverse dorsal tubercles absent from posthoracic and anterior abdominal segments, body elongate, antennae inserted on prominent flanges.
