Colaspis pseudofavosa is a species of leaf beetle from North America. [3] [4] [5] [6] It is a post-harvest pest of blueberries in the southeastern United States, and also feeds on plants such as southern wax myrtles ( Myrica cerifera ) and pecans (Carya illinoinensis). [7]
The species was originally described under the name Colaspis floridana by the American entomologist Doris Holmes Blake in 1977. However, this name was already used by a species described by Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1933, so it was renamed by Edward G. Riley to Colaspis pseudofavosa the following year. This name was chosen for the species' similarity to Colaspis favosa .
Eurypepla is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least four described species in Eurypepla.
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.
Kuschelina is a genus of flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least 20 described species in Kuschelina.
Systena is a genus of flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 90 described species in Systena. It is found in the New World, mostly in the Neotropics.
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.
Tymnes is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America and Central America. There are at least nine described species in Tymnes.
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 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.
Gratiana is a genus of tortoise beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about seven described species in Gratiana.
Colaspis planicostata is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It is distributed in southern Texas and in Mexico.
