Colaspis arizonensis is a species of leaf beetle from North America. [2] [3] [4] [5] It is found in southeast Arizona and northwest Mexico. [5] It was first described by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1933.
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.
Colaspis pini, the pine colaspis, is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It is known to feed on pines in the southern United States, and is an occasional pest of Christmas trees. It was first described by the American entomologist Herbert Spencer Barber in 1937.
Colaspis hesperia is a species of leaf beetle from North America. Its range spans from Arizona to Texas and south to Mexico. The specific name, hesperia, is derived from the Greek for "western".
Zenocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America and South America. There are at least two described species in Zenocolaspis. The genus is very similar to Colaspis, but the body is smaller and the eyes are strongly convex and prominent externally.
Colaspis brunnea, the grape colaspis, is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It mainly occurs in the eastern United States. It is a pest of crop such as corn and soybeans, but damage by it has not been documented as economically significant. It is univoltine, and overwinters in the soil as larvae.
Colaspis louisianae is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It is distributed in Texas and Louisiana in the United States. It is close in appearance to Colaspis brunnea.
Neltumius is a genus of pea and bean weevils in the beetle family Chrysomelidae. There are at least three described species in Neltumius.
Rhabdopterus weisei is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in North America. It was originally described under the name Colaspis subaenea by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1919. However, this name was already used for a species described by Martin Jacoby in 1890, so Schaeffer renamed his species to Colaspis weisei the following year. It was later moved to the genus Rhabdopterus by Herbert Spencer Barber in 1943.
Colaspis flavocostata is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It is found in the coastal states of the United States; its range spans from Mississippi to Florida and to South Carolina. It was first described by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1933.
Colaspis costipennis is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It is mostly found in coastal states; in the United States, its range extends from Louisiana and Georgia north to New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, and in Canada, it is reported from Ontario. It was originally described as a variety of Colaspis brunnea, but it is now recognised as a distinct species.
Colaspis suilla is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in North America.
Colaspis suggona is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in North America.
Colaspis viriditincta is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It is distributed in Arizona and Mexico. It was first described by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1919. The specific name, viriditincta, is derived from the Latin for "green-tinged".
Colaspis crinicornis is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It primarily occurs in the Great Plains of the United States. It was first described by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1933. Though it has not historically been considered a pest, population densities of the species have been increasing in corn and soybean over the last decade in southeastern Nebraska. A study has found C. crinicornis to be univoltine in the same region, and that it overwinters in soil as larvae. It has also been found that diets of corn or soybean leaves do not affect the consumption, longevity or fecundity of adult C. crinicornis.
Colaspis planicostata is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It is distributed in southern Texas and in Mexico.
Colaspis pseudofavosa is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It is a post-harvest pest of blueberries in the southeastern United States, and also feeds on plants such as southern wax myrtles and pecans.
Colaspis brownsvillensis, the Brownsville milkvine leaf beetle, is a species of leaf beetle found in the state of Texas in the United States. It was first described by the American entomologist Doris Holmes Blake in 1976 from Brownsville, Texas, after which the species is named. It is a close relative of Colaspis nigrocyanea.
Colaspis viridiceps is a species of leaf beetle from North America. Its range spans from Arizona to New Mexico and south to Mexico. It was first described by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1933.
Colaspis cruriflava is a species of leaf beetle found in the state of Arizona in the United States. It was first described by the American entomologist Doris Holmes Blake in 1977. The specific name, cruriflava, is derived from the Latin for "leg yellow".
Colaspis recurva is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It is found in coastal states, its range spanning from Virginia south to Florida west to Louisiana.
