This is a Lema (Quasilema) daturaphila (Three-lined potato beetle). I think this one may have been put under Xanthogaleruca luteola (Elm leaf beetle) accidentally.

The deeply pitted pronotum with patches of dark shading along vertex (back of head) & the splatter of colouring along the lateral pronotum (sides of thorax) extending from the elytral coloured lines are better suited to Calomela vittata.
