Eumolpini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is the largest tribe in the subfamily, with approximately 170 genera found worldwide. Members of the tribe almost always have a longitudinal median groove on the pygidium, which possibly helps to keep the elytra locked at rest. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as appendiculate pretarsal claws.

Glyptoscelis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 38 species of Glyptoscelis described from North, Central and South America. There are also three species of Glyptoscelis known from the West Indies, though they are wrongly placed in the genus. In addition, a single species was described from Hunan, China in 2021.

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.

Colaspidea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America and the Mediterranean. It has recently been suggested that the Mediterranean species of Colaspidea are a sister genus to Chalcosicya, and that Colaspina forms a sister genus to the former two combined. It has also been suggested that the North American species of Colaspidea may represent a separate genus.
