Diabrotica is a large, widespread genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. Members of this genus include several destructive agricultural pest species, sometimes referred to as cucumber beetles or corn rootworms.
Acalymma is a genus of leaf beetles found mainly in the New World. Approximately 72 species have been described in the Western Hemisphere.
Aulacophora is a genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, commonly known as pumpkin beetles; some species are pests of agricultural crops. The genus was named in 1836 by the French entomologist Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat, in Dejean's Catalogue des Coléoptères. The name, from Ancient Greek, signifies "furrow-bearer"' from aulax, "furrow".
Galeruca is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Galerucinae. It is distributed in the Palaearctic and Nearctic realms. In Turkey, the genus is represented by 10 species.
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.
Colaspoides is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily, containing over 260 species worldwide. 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.
Galerucini is a tribe of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 70 genera and at least 480 described species in Galerucini.
Epitrix is a genus of flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are 162 described species in Epitrix, which occur in all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Many species of the genus are serious pests of potatoes and other plants in the Solanaceae family.
Brachypnoea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is mostly found in the Neotropical realm, though there are also eight known species in the Nearctic realm.
Luperini is a tribe of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 30 genera and 500 described species in Luperini.
Rhabdopterus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are about 70 described species in Rhabdopterus from North and South America, eight of which are found north of Mexico. The Nearctic species may not be congeneric with the type species, which is South American.
Allocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
Chalcophana is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
Chalcoplacis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America.
Hylax is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Central America and South America.
Coelomera is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae.
Isotes is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are currently about 180 described species in Isotes. They are found in the Neotropics.
Walterianella is a genus of flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 40 described species in Walterianella. They are found in Central and South America.
