Glyptoscelis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 38 species of Glyptoscelis described from North, Central and South America. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]} There are also three species of Glyptoscelis known from the West Indies, though they are wrongly placed in the genus. ^[6] In addition, a single species was described from Hunan, China in 2021. ^[7]

According to BugGuide and ITIS, the genus is now placed in the tribe Eumolpini instead of Adoxini. ^{[4] [1]}
