Belarima violacea (Lucas) is an uncommon species of the Galerucini tribe (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae) distributed in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, and recorded here for the first time for the European fauna. One male and one female were found, not far from each other, wandering on the sand among the vegetation of the shifting dunes of the Tuscan coast (Rosignano Solvay, Spiagge Bianche). Some hypotheses are proposed to explain the presence of B. violacea on the Italian coast. Morphological descriptions of external habitus, aedeagus and spematheca, the latter here described for the first time, are also provided, accompanied by micro-photographs.

紫薇（Belarima violacea）（卢卡斯（Lucas），1847年）（鞘翅目，菊科），是欧洲动物区系的新属和种

紫薇（Belarima violacea）（卢卡斯（Lucas））是Galerucini部落中的罕见物种（鞘翅目，金眼科，Galerucinae），分布于阿尔及利亚，摩洛哥和突尼斯，并在此首次记录为欧洲动物区系。发现一男一女彼此相距不远，在托斯卡纳海岸（Rosignano Solvay，Spiagge Bianche）的沙丘植被中的沙滩上徘徊。提出了一些假设来解释意大利海岸上紫薇芽孢杆菌的存在。还提供了外部习性，edeagus和spematheca的形态学描述，此处是首次描述的形态学，并附有显微照片。
