Donacia thalassina is a species of leaf beetle of the subfamily Donaciinae. Distributed in the Palearctic region. [1]
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but only some of them are listed below. The precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research.
Donaciinae, aquatic leaf beetles, is a subfamily of the leaf beetle family Chrysomelidae, characterised by distinctly long antennae. They are found in mainly the Holarctic, with very few species in the southern hemisphere.
Donacia is a large genus of aquatic leaf beetles in the subfamily Donaciinae. Like other members of that subfamily, the beetles have long antennae. They are active and able to fly. Larvae feed on submerged portions of aquatic plants, such as water lilies, and breathe oxygen from plant vessels. Adults live on surface parts of the same plants.
