Basiprionota is a genus of beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. [1]
The following species are accepted within Basiprionota: [1]
The Cassidinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. The antennae arise close to each other and some members have the pronotal and elytral edges extended to the side and covering the legs so as to give them the common name of tortoise beetles. Some members, such as in the tribe Hispini, are notable for the spiny outgrowths to the pronotum and elytra.
Harpalus is a genus of ground beetle first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1802.
Acmaeodera is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, a group of metallic wood-boring beetles favored by insect collectors. Whereas most beetles including most buprestids fly with their elytra held out and vibrating their hindwings to give lift and thrust, Acmaedodera, however, fly with their hind wings only — the elytra are fused down the center and form a shield over the insect's abdomen, even during flight. This fact, combined with the banding across the abdomen which is common in this family, gives many of them a distinct wasp-like appearance when in flight. Several are therefore considered hymenopteran mimics.
Mesomphalia is a genus of leaf beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae.
Aspidimorpha is a large Old World genus of beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae and tribe Aspidimorphini. The genus name is frequently misspelled as "Aspidomorpha", due to an unjustified spelling change in 1848.
Cyrtonota is a genus of leaf beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae.
Physonota is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 40 described species in Physonota.
Chelymorpha is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 70 described species in Chelymorpha.
Xenochalepus is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 90 described species in Xenochalepus.
Stolas is a genus of leaf beetles.
