Majungaeus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. [2] It is distributed in Madagascar.
Colaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily, containing over 200 species, and it is known from both North and South America. A number of species from this genus are considered to be pests, such as the grape colaspis. Some species are known from the fossil record from the Eocene of Colorado in the United States.
Rhembastus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, native to Africa. Whilst the taxonomy of the genus is disputed, the genus has been suggested as a biological control agent for Bryophyllum delagoense in Australia.
Syagrus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are known from the mainland of Africa. They are often attracted by plants in the family Malvaceae; Syagrus rugifrons and Syagrus calcaratus are pests of cotton. The larvae of Syagrus calcaratus attack the roots of the plant and cause it to wilt.
Brachypnoea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is mostly found in the Neotropical realm, though there are also eight known species in the Nearctic realm.
Spintherophyta is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Most species in the genus are found in Central and South America, but there are also a few North American species.
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.
Eurydemus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa and Fiji.
Pheloticus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is found in Madagascar. Many species had been previously placed in the related genus Syagrus by Jan Bechyně.
Percolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America and Central America, though it has also been reported from southern Florida in the United States. It is associated with the plant families Rubiaceae and Fabaceae in Central America.
Callicolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from South America. It was formerly considered a synonym of Lycaste Gistel, 1848, but in 2003 it was restored as a separate genus. Lycaste itself was later found to be an unnecessary replacement name for Chalcophana, and the name Eupetale was established for the species formerly placed under Lycaste.
Adorea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains seven species, which are found in Central America and northern South America.
Antitypona is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is found in Central America and South America.
Nycterodina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from South America.
Chalcophana is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
Nodocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Central America and South America. The genus was first established by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in 1949, as a relative of Nodonota containing species formerly placed in Colaspis.
Lamprosphaerus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is found in Central America and South America.
Endocephalus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America.
Ivongius is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is found in Madagascar.
Coytiera is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America.
