Pachybrachis varians
Pachybrachis varians is a species of case-bearing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae, described by Bowditch in 1909. The genus Pachybrachis belongs to the subfamily Cryptocephalinae, a group known for larvae that construct protective cases from fecal material and exuviae. Like other members of this genus, P. varians is likely small in size and associated with specific host plants, though detailed biological information for this particular species remains limited. The species occurs in North America.
