Pyrota fasciata is a species of blister beetle in the family Meloidae. It is found in Central America and North America.[1][2][3]

It measures between 10 and 21 mm, although most specimens have a length below 15 mm.[3] It is identifiable thanks to its uniform background shell color, which differs from other species such as the Pyrota punctata, which has a 2-toned shell background.[3]
