Colaspis costipennis is a species of leaf beetle from eastern North America.[4][5][6][7] It is mostly found in coastal states; in the United States, its range extends from Louisiana and Georgia north to New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, and in Canada, it is reported from Ontario.[7] It was originally described as a variety of Colaspis brunnea, but it is now recognised as a distinct species.[3] It is included in the Colaspis suilla species group by Riley (2020).[8]
