Abstract: The colour pattern of live adult Calomela pallida (Baly, 1856)(Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is described. The green and aquamarine coloration fades to various shades of orange-brown and brown upon death. New host plants of Acacia leiocalyx (Domin) Pedley and A. sophorae Labill. (R.Br.) (Mimosaceae) from Queensland and A. implexa Benth. (Mimosaceae) from New South Wales are presented.
