Deretrichia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Australia, New Guinea and associated islands in the Australasian realm, east of Wallace's Line. [2] It was first erected by the German entomologist Julius Weise in 1913 for six species transferred from Rhyparida . In 1963, the genus was revised by Brian J. Selman, who described many new species and transferred some more species from Rhyparida. [2]

It is an extant genus but there is at least one species, C. eocenicus, found in Baltic amber from the Upper Eocene of Russia, and the genus has also been reported from the Miocene of the Dominican Republic.

Syagrus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are known from the mainland of Africa as well as Madagascar. They are often attracted by plants in the family Malvaceae; Syagrus rugifrons and Syagrus calcaratus are pests of cotton. The larvae of Syagrus calcaratus attack the roots of the plant and cause it to wilt.

Eumolpini Tribe of leaf beetles

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.

Typophorini 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 antenna cleaners on the tibiae of the middle and hind legs. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as bifid pretarsal claws.

Rhyparida is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in the Australasian and Indomalayan realms, though some species are also known from the African islands of Madagascar and Seychelles.

Pagria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.

Basilepta is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is generally distributed in Asia. A single species is also known from central Africa.

Cleorina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Australia and Asia.

Thysbina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa. It was first established by the German entomologist Julius Weise in 1902, for several species from Colasposoma as well as three new species. According to Louis Jules Léon Burgeon in 1941, Thysbina is actually a synonym of Colasposoma, though this proposed synonymy has been ignored in later works.

Scelodonta is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The genus includes over 70 species, with two found in Australia and the remainder from the Afrotropical, Palearctic and Oriental biogeographic realms.

Cleoporus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Asia.

Trichochrysea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Asia. According to A. G. Moseyko, the Central Asian species are significantly different from the Oriental species.

Nodina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Asia.

Dermorhytis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is found in south Asia, southeast Asia and southwest China.

Bromiini Tribe of leaf beetles

Bromiini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The tribe contains approximately 120 genera, which are found worldwide. They are generally thought to be an artificial group, often with a subcylindrical prothorax without lateral ridges and covered with setae or scales.
