Aphilenia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Central and East Asia [1] as well as southern Russia. Members of the genus are adapted to dry climates, and feed on bushes of the genus Calligonum . In 2012, the genus was moved from the tribe Bromiini to the tribe Nodinini (now known as Typophorini).

Macrocoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains about 100 species, which are found in tropical Africa, around the Mediterranian, on the Canary Islands, in western and central Asia, and in India.
Pachnephorus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa, Asia and Europe.
Demotina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are over 50 described species in Demotina. The genus is native to Asia, Australia and Oceania, though one species is an adventive species in the southeastern United States in North America. Some species are known to be parthenogenetic.
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 antenna cleaners on the tibiae of the middle and hind legs. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as bifid pretarsal claws.
Hyperaxis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in East and Southeast Asia.
Tricliona is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains at least 35 species, and is distributed from India and Southern China to the Philippines and New Guinea.
Chloropterus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Eastern Europe, West to Central Asia and North Africa.
Chloropterus lefevrei is a species of leaf beetle distributed from the Caucasus via Central Asia to Western Asia. It was first described by Edmund Reitter in 1890, who named it after Édouard Lefèvre.
Eryxia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa and Western Asia.
Callipta is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains four species, which are distributed in the Caucasus, Central to East Asia and North Africa. The genus was originally named Calliope by Julius Weise in 1882; however, as Édouard Lefèvre pointed out, the name "Calliope" had been used a number of times for genera described previously, so it was renamed to Callipta by Lefèvre in 1885.
Malegia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and the Caucasus.
Aoria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Members of the genus are distributed in East and Southeast Asia. Food plants are known for only a few species, all of which were recorded from Vitaceae.
Chrysolampra is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Asia and Australia. It is very closely related to Colaspoides, and is possibly a subgenus of it according to L. N. Medvedev (2004).
Colasposoma dauricum is a species of leaf beetle from eastern Asia. It was first described by Carl Gustaf Mannerheim in 1849. It is known as a pest of sweet potatoes.
Cleoporus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Asia.
Trichochrysea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Asia. According to A. G. Moseyko, the Central Asian species are significantly different from the Oriental species.
Atomyria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Central Asia and Iran. In 2012, the genus was moved from the tribe Bromiini to the tribe Nodinini. In 2020, the genus was revised by A. G. Moseyko, who described a new species and transferred two species to Chloropterus, leaving only two valid species remaining within Atomyria.
Parnops is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains four species, which are distributed in the southern part of Central Asia and in Iran, Mongolia and northern China.
Bromiini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The tribe contains approximately 120 genera, which are found worldwide. They are generally thought to be an artificial group, often with a subcylindrical prothorax without lateral ridges and covered with setae or scales.
