Eumolpopsis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. [4] It contains only one species, Eumolpopsis dimidiatus, found in Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [5] The species was first described by Martin Jacoby in 1893, who named it Pseudeumolpus dimidiatus. [2] However, Pseudeumolpus was found to be preoccupied, so the genus was renamed to Eumolpopsis by Jacoby in 1894. [1]

<i>Afroeurydemus</i> Genus of leaf beetles from Africa

Afroeurydemus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, found in Africa. The genus was separated from Eurydemus in 1965 by Brian J. Selman, who moved all African species of Eurydemus he had seen to this genus or related African genera and considered it likely that Eurydemus was restricted to Fiji. Many species were also originally placed in Syagrus.

Paraivongius is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa.
