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

Macrocoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains about 100 species, which are found in tropical Africa, around the Mediterranean, on the Canary Islands, in western and central Asia, and in India.

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

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.

Mecistes is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in central and eastern Africa, from the Uele region and Kenya to Namibia, Botswana and the Eastern provinces of the Republic of South Africa, and in Saudi Arabia. It closely resembles the Oriental genus Apolepis.

Eryxia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa and Western Asia.

Trichostola is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed on the Mascarene Islands. Some species placed in the genus have also been described from mainland Africa and Madagascar, but according to Jan Bechyné (1957) these actually belong to other genera. Additionally, some species described from Australia were placed in the genus by Julius Weise in 1923, but these are also considered to be misplaced.

Pseudostola is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
