Aoria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Members of the genus are distributed in East and Southeast Asia. [2] [3] [4] Food plants are known for only a few species, all of which were recorded from Vitaceae. [5]

Four genera similar to Aoria are known: Aloria , Enneaoria , Osnaparis and Pseudaoria . Osnaparis is regarded as a subgenus of Aoria by some researchers. [6] In a revision of the genus Aoria in 2012, L. N. Medvedev included both Osnaparis and Pseudaoria as subgenera of Aoria, and treated Enneaoria as a synonym of Aloria. [5]

Species

Subgenus Aoria Baly, 1863
