I meant to say that we have neither seen nor collected any ADULTS for your collection, but now you have me wondering if the dark beetle larvae seen earlier belong to some other species? The leaves in question have lots of holes in them, and the remaining leaf tissu= e is on the sides of the major veins -- does that sound right for the Viburnu= m Leaf Beetle?
