Coniomma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Coniomma hospes, and is endemic to the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The genus and species were first described by Julius Weise in 1922, and were re-described in 2011 by A. G. Moseyko. The genus is very closely related to Rhyparida , from which it is separated mainly by the shape of the eyes and the length of the antennae. [2]

Description

Coniomma hospes has an elongate shining, glabrous, yellow-reddish body, with a black pattern on the elytra, antennae and legs. The pronotum is narrower than the elytra. The eyes are conical, and the antennae are very long, longer than the body. The claws are bifid. The body length is 3.4–4.1 mm in males, and 4.6–4.9 mm in females. The body width is 2.0–2.1 mm in males, and 2.3–2.4 mm in females. [2]

Acronymolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to New Caledonia. There are two species placed in the genus, both of which are sexually dimorphic; the females are large and reddish, and the males are small and black. A member of the tribe Eumolpini, Acronymolpus is distinguished from other members of the tribe in New Caledonia by its enlarged metacoxae, which occupy most of the first abdominal ventrite and nearly reach its posterior margin.
