Doryphora is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. It includes nine species from Central and South America. [1]
Doryphora beetles live and feed on vines of family Apocynaceae. [2]
Doryphora reproduce during the transition from the dry to the wet season. Some species are subsocial, with adult females guarding their eggs and larvae from predation. [2]
The genus includes the following species: [3] [4] [5] [6]

Sociality is the degree to which individuals in an animal population tend to associate in social groups (gregariousness) and form cooperative societies.
The Chrysomelinae are a subfamily of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), commonly known as broad-bodied leaf beetles or broad-shouldered leaf beetles. It includes some 3,000 species around the world.
The Cassidinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. The antennae arise close to each other and some members have the pronotal and elytral edges extended to the side and covering the legs so as to give them the common name of tortoise beetles. Some members, such as in the tribe Hispini, are notable for the spiny outgrowths to the pronotum and elytra.
Calligrapha is a genus of large American Chrysomelinae of imprecise taxonomic boundaries. Most species occur in Central and South America.
Proseicela is a genus of leaf beetles.
Chrysomelini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are over 150 described genera in Chrysomelini, variously arranged into subtribes, though the exact number and constituency of these subtribes is a source of ongoing debate.
Luperini is a tribe of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 30 genera and 500 described species in Luperini.
Chrysomela schaefferi is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.
Chrysomela falsa is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.
Chrysomela interrupta, the alder leaf beetle, is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.

Entomoscelis americana, the red turnip beetle, is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.
Cadiz is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Chrysomelinae, found in North America. It contains only one species, Cadiz hardyi, which was described from the Cadiz Dunes in San Bernardino County, California.
Chrysolina marginata is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae.
Phratora interstitialis is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia and North America. This leaf beetle feeds on host plants that are poor in salicylates and is closely related to the European Phratora vulgatissima, which also feeds on salicylate-poor willows.
Phratora hudsonia, the birch leaf beetle, is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America. This species is known from Canadian populations at the Great Slave Lake and north shore of Lake Superior. It feeds on birch and is metallic brown in color. It is relatively small in size, like other Phratora species.
Calligrapha serpentina, the globemallow leaf beetle, is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in Mexico and the United States.
Chrysomela mainensis is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.
Trachymela sloanei, known generally as the Australian tortoise beetle or small eucalyptus tortoise beetle, is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae.
Acromis is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. The three species of this genus are found in Southern America. These species exhibit subsociality, where the females lay clusters of eggs that she guards until they hatch, the larvae mature, pupate, and young adults disperse.
