Lexiphanes is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 17 described species in Lexiphanes. [1] [2] [3]
These 17 species belong to the genus Lexiphanes:
Metachroma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed from Ontario, Canada to Mendoza, Argentina, including the Antilles. It has also been suggested that the genus extends to the Pacific Islands, though this is not confirmed. There are about 140 described species in Metachroma, 40 of which are found north of Mexico. An extinct species is also known from the Eocene of the United States.
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.
Anisostena is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least 30 described species in Anisostena.
Trirhabda is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 30 described species in Trirhabda. They are found in North America and Mexico.
Miraces is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are six described species in Miraces. They are found in North America and the Neotropics.
Urodera is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about nine described species in Urodera.
Oomorphus is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 18 described species in Oomorphus.
Scelida is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least four described species in Scelida. They are found in North America and the Neotropics.
Demotina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are over 50 described species in Demotina. The genus is native to Asia, Australia and Oceania, though one species is an adventive species in the southeastern United States in North America. Some species are known to be parthenogenetic.
Triachus is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about five described species in Triachus.
Lexiphanes mexicanus is a species of case-bearing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Ophraea is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about eight described species in Ophraea. They are found in North America and the Neotropics.
Hemisphaerota is a genus in the subfamily Cassidinae in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 10 described species in Hemisphaerota.
Cerotoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about seven described species in Cerotoma. They are found in North America and the Neotropics.
Paratriarius is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 20 described species in Paratriarius. They are found in North America and the Neotropics.
Diachus is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 10 described species in Diachus.
Octotoma is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 12 described species in Octotoma.
Malacorhinus is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 11 described species in Malacorhinus. They are found in North America and the Neotropics.
Aoria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Members of the genus are distributed in East and Southeast Asia. Food plants are known for only a few species, all of which were recorded from Vitaceae.
Bromiini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The tribe contains approximately 120 genera, which are found worldwide. They are generally thought to be an artificial group, often with a subcylindrical prothorax without lateral ridges and covered with setae or scales.
