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.
Aulacophora is a genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, commonly known as pumpkin beetles; some species are pests of agricultural crops. The genus was named in 1836 by the French entomologist Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat, in Dejean's Catalogue des Coléoptères. The name, from Ancient Greek, signifies "furrow-bearer"' from aulax, "furrow".
Aspidimorpha is a large Old World genus of beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae and tribe Aspidimorphini. The genus name is frequently misspelled as "Aspidomorpha", due to an unjustified spelling change in 1848.
Callispa is a genus of tortoise beetles.
Callistola is a genus of leaf beetles in the tribe Cryptonychini. Species in this genus are found in the Pacific region, with a large number of species known from New Guinea.
Chalepini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least 50 genera and 830 described species in Chalepini.
Baliosus is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least 40 described species in Baliosus.
Luperini is a tribe of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 30 genera and 500 described species in Luperini.
Chalepus is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 90 described species in Chalepus.
Typophorini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The tribe contains approximately 100 genera, which are found worldwide. Members of the tribe are mainly characterized by notches on the tibiae of the middle and hind legs, which are sometimes referred to as antenna cleaners. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as bifid pretarsal claws.
Xenochalepus is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 90 described species in Xenochalepus.
Stolas is a genus of leaf beetles.
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.
Platypria is a genus of hispine leaf-beetles. There are about 34 species found mostly in the Asian and African tropics. The larvae mine the leaves of plants and hosts include plants in the families Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Myricaceae, Poaceae, Rhamnaceae, Roseaceae and Rubiaceae. The adults are 4 to 7 mm long and have spine like growths on the pronotum and elytra. There are also translucent patches on the elytra. The antennae have 9 segments and arise close to each other on the head.
