Amblynetes is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. [3] It contains only one species, Amblynetes bottegoi. It is known from East Africa.
The genus was first erected by the German entomologist Julius Weise in 1904 for the newly described species Amblynetes morio. This species was later found to be identical to Syagrus bottegoi, a species of Syagrus described by Martin Jacoby in 1899. Because Weise felt that S. bottegoi did not belong in Syagrus, this species was transferred to Amblynetes, and A. morio became a junior synonym of it.
Colasposoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Afroeurydemus bipunctatus is a species of leaf beetle of Ghana, Ivory Coast, the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was first described by Julius Weise in 1883.
Macrocoma meruensis is a species of leaf beetle found in Tanzania and Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was first described by Julius Weise in 1909.
Paraivongius rufipes is a species of leaf beetle of Ghana and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was first described by Julius Weise in 1883.
Rhembastus mechowi is a species of leaf beetle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, described by Julius Weise in 1883.
Syagrus morio is a species of leaf beetle from South Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was first described from Port Natal by Edgar von Harold in 1877.
Rhembastus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, native to Africa. Whilst the taxonomy of the genus is disputed, the genus has been suggested as a biological control agent for Bryophyllum delagoense in Australia.
Macrocoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains about 100 species, which are found in tropical Africa, around the Mediterranean, on the Canary Islands, in western and central Asia, and in India.
Syagrus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are known from the mainland of Africa as well as Madagascar. They are often attracted by plants in the family Malvaceae; Syagrus rugifrons and Syagrus calcaratus are pests of cotton. The larvae of Syagrus calcaratus attack the roots of the plant and cause it to wilt.
Afroeurydemus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, found in Africa. The genus was separated from Eurydemus in 1965 by Brian J. Selman, who moved all African species of Eurydemus he had seen to this genus or related African genera and considered it likely that Eurydemus was restricted to Fiji. Many species were also originally placed in Syagrus.
Lefevrea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa.
Pseudocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains about 80 species, which are found in tropical Africa.
Typophorini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The tribe contains approximately 100 genera, which are found worldwide. Members of the tribe are mainly characterized by notches on the tibiae of the middle and hind legs, which are sometimes referred to as antenna cleaners. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as bifid pretarsal claws.
