Baliosus lineaticollis is a species of beetle of the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in Guatemala and Mexico.[1]

Description

Adults are very similar to Uroplata fulvopustulata, but the thorax is narrower, subconic and not unicolorous. The antennae are blackish-piceous instead of fulvous, and, lastly, the produced hinder angles of the elytra are shorter and much more obtuse.[2]
