Atomyria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Central Asia and Iran. [2] [3] In 2012, the genus was moved from the tribe Bromiini to the tribe Nodinini (now known as Typophorini). [4] 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. [3]
Members of the genus inhabit tugai forests. [4] The known distribution of Atomyria also corresponds very closely with the distribution of the desert shrub genus Tamarix . [5]
Atomyria includes only two valid species: [3]
The following species were formerly included, but have since been transferred to the genus Chloropterus . [3]
Colasposoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Platycorynus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa and Asia.
Chloropterus mateui is a species of leaf beetle found in Algeria. It was first described as a species of Atomyria in 1969 by Brian J. Selman, based on a series of specimens collected from the western Sahara. One of these specimens was collected from the desert shrub Tamarix. In 2020, A.G. Moseyko transferred the species to the genus Chloropterus.
Colaspoides is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily, containing over 100 species worldwide. It is an extant genus but there is at least one species, C. eocenicus, found in Baltic amber from the Upper Eocene of Russia, and the genus has also been reported from the Miocene of the Dominican Republic.
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. Macrocoma has sometimes been considered a synonym of Pseudocolaspis.
Eumolpini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is the largest tribe in the subfamily, with approximately 170 genera found worldwide. Members of the tribe almost always have a longitudinal median groove on the pygidium, which possibly helps to keep the elytra locked at rest. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as appendiculate pretarsal claws.
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.
Rhyparida is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in the Australasian and Indomalayan realms, though some species are also known from the African islands of Madagascar and Seychelles.
Chloropterus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Eastern Europe, West to Central Asia and North Africa.
Eryxia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa and Western Asia.
Pagria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Aphilenia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Central and East Asia 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.
Scelodonta is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The genus includes over 70 species, mainly from the Afrotropical, Palearctic and Oriental biogeographic realms. Only three species are found in Australia.
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.
Lypesthes is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are distributed in East Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa.
Euryopini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
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.
