ragwort flea beetles that are suitable for Clark County? #203862

Where can we acquire ragwort flea beetles that would be suited to the climate of Clark County?

We have read the article at http://www.invasive.org/proceedings/pdfs/12_573-576.pdf and it appears that the geographic origin of the ragwort flea beetle affects the successful introduction of the beetle as Tansy Ragwort control. We also have found at least one source for ragwort flea beetles:
