<i>Colaspis</i> Genus of leaf beetles

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.

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.

<i>Brachypnoea</i> Genus of beetles

Brachypnoea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is mostly found in the Neotropical realm, though there are also eight known species in the Nearctic realm.

<i>Pseudocolaspis</i> Genus of leaf beetles from Africa

Pseudocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains about 80 species, which are found in tropical Africa.

Eumolpini Tribe of leaf beetles

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.

Eboo is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to Australia, and contains approximately 50 species. Many of these species show strong sexual dimorphism, and they feed primarily on Eucalyptus plants.

<i>Rhyparida</i> Genus of leaf beetles

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.

<i>Eurydemus</i> Genus of leaf beetles

Eurydemus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa and Fiji.

Melindea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa.

Agetinus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Australia. The genus was originally named Agetus by Félicien Chapuis in 1874. However, the name Agetus was preoccupied by Agetus Kröyer, 1849, so the genus was renamed to Agetinus by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885.

Trichostola is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed on the Mascarene Islands. Some species placed in the genus have also been described from mainland Africa and Madagascar, but according to Jan Bechyné (1957) these actually belong to other genera. Additionally, some species described from Australia were placed in the genus by Julius Weise in 1923, but these are also considered to be misplaced.

Allocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
