Colaspidea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America (California and the southwestern United States) and the Mediterranean. It has recently been suggested that the Mediterranean species of Colaspidea are a sister genus to Chalcosicya , and that Colaspina forms a sister genus to the former two combined. It has also been suggested that the North American species of Colaspidea may represent a separate genus. [4]

Contents

The North American species of Colaspidea have wings, while the Mediterranean species are wingless. [4] [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Spilopyrinae</span> Subfamily of beetles

The Spilopyrinae are a small subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. They occur in 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.

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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typophorini</span> Tribe of leaf beetles

Typophorini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The tribe contains approximately 100 genera, which are found worldwide. Members of the tribe are mainly characterized by notches on the tibiae of the middle and hind legs, which are sometimes referred to as antenna cleaners. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as bifid pretarsal claws.

Chalcosicya is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is mainly known from the West Indies, though one species is found in southern Mexico. It has recently been thought to be a sister genus to the Mediterranean Colaspidea, with Colaspina as a sister genus to the former two combined.

Colaspina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Colaspina saportae, known from Spain and southern France (Provence). The species was first described from Aix-en-Provence in 1863 by Auguste Jean François Grenier, who dedicated it to the Marquess of Saporta. It has recently been suggested that Colaspina is possibly a sister genus to both Chalcosicya and Mediterranean Colaspidea combined.
