Hello!
I think they are
Sphaeroderma testaceum
, Chrysomelidae/Alticinae.

Chrysomelidae Alticinae
Why not Neocrepidoptera ferruginea?

Maybe. I don't know that genus from here, so it did not come into my mind.

I think they are too parallel-sided for Sphaeroderma. I would plump for Crepidodera sp. but would need to have them under the microscope to go to species. Maybe Crepidodera is an old name for Neocrepidoptera?

Hello,
The correct genus is
Neocrepidodera
, not
Neocrepidoptera
.
