Notes

  1. ↑ In the phylogenetic study of Douglas et al. (2023), Aulacothorax is removed from Alticini and instead placed in its own tribe, Serraticollini. [10]
  2. 1 2 3 4 5 6 In the phylogenetic study of Douglas et al. (2023), this genus is formally transferred from Alticini to Galerucini incertae sedis . [10]
  3. ↑ A revision of Microdonacia by Reid (1992) placed it in Galerucinae incertae sedis. [30]

<i>Platycorynus</i> Genus of leaf beetles

Platycorynus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Species of the genus are found in Africa and Asia.

Bikasha is a genus of flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are 19 described species from the Seychelles and the Oriental realm.

<i>Epitrix</i> Genus of beetles

Epitrix is a genus of flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are 162 described species in Epitrix, which occur in all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Many species of the genus are serious pests of potatoes and other plants in the Solanaceae family.

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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Luperini (beetle)</span> Tribe of beetles

Luperini is a tribe of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 30 genera and 500 described species in Luperini.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typophorini</span> Tribe of leaf beetles

Typophorini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The tribe contains approximately 100 genera, which are found worldwide.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Bromiini</span> Tribe 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.

<i>Blepharida</i> Genus of beetles

Blepharida is a genus of leaf beetles of the subfamily Galerucinae. They have co-evolved with plants in the genus Bursera, which they feed on. The plants have developed a sticky, poisonous resin that sprays out when the leaves are bitten into, and the beetles have evolved to cut through the veins of the leaves to disable this mechanism first. There are currently 73 known species in Blepharida, which are found in the Nearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical and southern Palearctic realms.

<i>Coelomera</i> Genus of leaf beetles

Coelomera is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae.
