Cheiloxena is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Spilopyrinae. It is endemic to Australia, occurring from southern Victoria to central Queensland. [3]
Paropsis is a genus of Chrysomelidae, commonly referred to as tortoise beetles, which includes over 70 described species. Their small size, bright colours and patterns, and roughly hemispherical shape cause them to be mistaken for beetles in the family Coccinellidae (ladybirds). They are distributed across Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Some species, Paropsis atomaria in particular, have been introduced to the United States in California with first official documented sightings in 2022. They primarily feed on Eucalyptus but there are a few that feed on Baeckea, Kunzea and Leptospermum. Species within this genus are noted as pests. For example, Paropsis charybdis is a pest of Eucalyptus in New Zealand.
Menippus is a genus of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae).
Platycorynus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Species of the genus are found in Africa and Asia.

The beetles are cylindrical when compared with other leaf beetles and their larvae are globose. Calomela includes about 45 species which are found in all states of Australia.
Chalcolampra is a genus of leaf beetles. These beetles are widespread from Southeast Asia to Australia and New Zealand, but most common in the southeast of Australia.

The Spilopyrinae are a small subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. They occur in Argentina, Australia, New Guinea, New Caledonia and Chile. They were formerly considered a tribe of the subfamily Eumolpinae. The group was elevated to subfamily rank by C. A. M. Reid in 2000. However, some authors have criticised this placement, preferring to retain them within the Eumolpinae.
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.
Macrolema is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Spilopyrinae. It is found in eastern Australia and New Guinea.
Allsortsia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Spilopyrinae. It contains only one species, Allsortsia maculata. It is found only in Australia, in the tropical rainforest of north Queensland.
