Colaspidea globosa is a species of beetle in the Chrysomelidae family that can be found in France, Spain, on the island of Sicily, and North Africa. [2]
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research.
The Chrysomeloidea are an enormous superfamily of beetles, with tens of thousands of species. The largest families are Cerambycidae, long-horned beetles, with more than 35,000 species, and Chrysomelidae, leaf beetles, with more than 13,000 species.
The blue willow beetle, formerly Phyllodecta vulgatissima, is a herbivourous beetle of the family Chrysomelidae. It is dark with a metallic sheen that ranges from a blue color to bronze. It is distinguished from P. vitellinae by the latter more commonly displaying bronze coloration. European Phratora species can be distinguished based on morphology of female genitalia. The larvae undergo three instar stages from hatching to pupation. This beetle is found throughout Europe and Scandinavia, and occurs in China.
The Galerucinae are a large subfamily of the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), containing about 15,000 species in more than 1000 genera, of which about 500 genera and about 8000 species make up the flea beetle tribe Alticini.
Buddleja globosa, also known as the orange-ball-tree, orange ball buddleja, and matico, is a species of flowering plant endemic to Chile and Argentina, where it grows in dry and moist forest, from sea level to 2,000 m. The species was first described and named by Hope in 1782.
Colaspidea grossa is a species of beetle in the Chrysomelidae family, that can be found in North Africa particularly in Morocco and Southern Spain.
Colaspidea metallica is a species of beetle in the Chrysomelidae family that can be found on the Greek island Corfu and the Italian islands of Sardinia and Sicily. It can also be found in France.
Colaspidea oblonga is a species of beetle in the family Chrysomelidae that can be found on Balearic Islands and Crete. It can also be found in such European countries as France, Germany, and the Italian islands of Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily. Besides the central European countries, it can also be found in all states of former Yugoslavia, except for North Macedonia, and in Tunisia.
Apteropeda globosa is a species of flea beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It can be found in Benelux, Ireland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Austria, British Isles, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, northern Italy, southwestern Poland, Spain, and Western Ukraine. It is green coloured,
Colaspidea inflata is a species of leaf beetle of Algeria, described by Édouard Lefèvre in 1876.
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.
Colaspidea smaragdula is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in North America.
Colaspidea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America 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.
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.
Spintherophyta globosa is a species of leaf beetle found in North America. It is widespread east of the Rocky Mountains, its range spanning from the East Coast west to Colorado and western Texas, and it may also occur in Arizona and Mexico. Its body is globose and colored black to dark brown, while the legs, antennae and mouth-parts are red-orange in color. The species is reported to be polyphagous.
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.
Allocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
Psathyrocerus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America. It is placed in the tribe Habrophorini with the related genus Habrophora.
