The flea beetle is a small, jumping beetle of the leaf beetle family (Chrysomelidae), that makes up the tribe Alticini which is part of the subfamily Galerucinae. Historically the flea beetles were classified as their own subfamily.
The Fulcidacini are a tribe within the leaf beetle subfamily Cryptocephalinae, though historically they were often treated as a distinct subfamily, Chlamisinae. 11 genera with altogether about 400 species are currently placed here; some four-fifths of the species are found in the Neotropics, but the rest is distributed over all other continents except Antarctica.
The Cryptocephalini are a tribe within the leaf beetle subfamily Cryptocephalinae. As the other Cryptocephalinae, they belong to the group of case-bearing leaf beetles known as Camptosomata. Some species are myrmecophilous.
Erotylidae, or the pleasing fungus beetles, is a family of beetles containing over 100 genera. In the present circumscription, it contains 6 tribes and 10 subfamilies. In other words, the narrowly circumscribed Erotylidae correspond to the subfamily Erotylinae in the definition sensu lato. There are doubts on the monophyly of lower ranked taxa within Erotylidae, with further phylogenetic studies requiring better sampling and studies of unexplored character sets, for example the metendosternite and penile flagellum, which are generally lacking detailed morphological studies within the Coleoptera literature.
Donacia is a large genus of aquatic leaf beetles in the subfamily Donaciinae. Like other members of that subfamily, the beetles have long antennae. They are active and able to fly. Larvae feed on submerged portions of aquatic plants, such as water lilies, and breathe oxygen from plant vessels. Adults live on surface parts of the same plants.
Anomoea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Cryptocephalinae. The name is frequently confused with the tephritid fly genus Anomoia, due to historical confusion over precedence.
Lachnaia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Cryptocephalinae, tribe Clytrini.
Smaragdina is a genus of short-horned leaf beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Cryptocephalinae.
Clytra is a genus of short-horned leaf beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Cryptocephalinae.
Calligrapha is a genus of large American Chrysomelinae of imprecise taxonomic boundaries. Most species occur in Central and South America.
Galerucini is a tribe of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 70 genera and at least 480 described species in Galerucini.
Saxinis is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least 10 described species in Saxinis.
Coleothorpa is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. The group is largely composed of species that were originally placed in the genus Euryscopa; some authorities have suggested placing these species into the genus Coscinoptera but the most recent revisions prefer to retain it as a separate genus.
Metachroma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed from Ontario, Canada to Mendoza, Argentina, including the Antilles. It has also been suggested that the genus extends to the Pacific Islands, though this is not confirmed. There are about 140 described species in Metachroma, 40 of which are found north of Mexico. An extinct species is also known from the Eocene of the United States.
Luperini is a tribe of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 30 genera and 500 described species in Luperini.
Urodera is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about nine described species in Urodera.
Coleorozena is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. The group is largely composed of species that were originally placed in the genus Coscinoptera; some authorities have suggested placing these species back into Coscinoptera but the most recent revisions prefer to retain it as a separate genus.
Babia quadriguttata, the eastern babia, is a species of case-bearing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.
