Callicolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from South America. It was formerly considered a synonym of Lycaste Gistel, 1848, but in 2003 it was restored as a separate genus. [2] Lycaste itself was later found to be an unnecessary replacement name for Chalcophana , and the name Eupetale was established for the species formerly placed under Lycaste. [3]
As of 2003, the genus is restricted to five species: [2]
Colaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily, containing over 200 species, and it is known from both North and South America. A number of species from this genus are considered to be pests, such as the grape colaspis. Some species are known from the fossil record from the Eocene of Colorado in the United States.
Paria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are about 40 described species in Paria in North and South America, 19 of which are known north of Mexico. The genus is very similar to Typophorus.
Zenocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America and South America. There are at least two described species in Zenocolaspis. The genus is very similar to Colaspis, but the body is smaller and the eyes are strongly convex and prominent externally.
Spintherophyta is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Most species in the genus are found in Central and South America, but there are also a few North American species.
Typophorus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are at least 53 described species in Typophorus. Similar genera include Paria and Tijucana. Typophorus itself is probably polyphyletic.
Prionodera is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Central and South America.
Metaxyonycha is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
Allocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
Percolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America and Central America, though it has also been reported from southern Florida in the United States. It is associated with the plant families Rubiaceae and Fabaceae in Central America.
Freudeita is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are found in South America. The genus is dedicated to the German entomologist Heinz Freude.
Antitypona is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are found in Central America and South America.
Nycterodina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from South America.
Chalcophana is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
Nodocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are known from Central America and South America. The genus was first established by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in 1949, as a relative of Nodonota containing species formerly placed in Colaspis.
Deuteronoda is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are known from Central America and South America.
Coytiera is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America.
Chalcoplacis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America.
Ledesmodina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is found in Central America and South America.
Caryonoda is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is the only member of the tribe Caryonodini. It is distributed in South America.
Guyanica is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
