Sceloenopla trivittata is a species of beetle of the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in Costa Rica. [1]
Adults reach a length of about 6.9-8.1 mm. They are yellowish to orangish-red, with the antennae mostly black. The pronotum has black medial longitudinal and lateral margins, while the elytra have the apical one-fourth black. [2]
No host plant has been documented for this species. [1]
The species name is derived from the Latin word tri (meaning three) and vitta (meaning stripe) and refers to the three black vittae on the pronotum. [2]
