Mantura is a genus of flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 20 described species, from the Nearctic, Palaearctic, and Oriental regions. [1]
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research.
The Synetinae are a small subfamily within the leaf beetle family (Chrysomelidae). They are found entirely within the Holarctic, mainly in North America but also appearing in parts of Europe and Asia. The subfamily contains only two genera, Syneta and Thricolema, with a total of 12 described species. The group is sometimes treated as a tribe of Eumolpinae, where they are known as Synetini.
Pseudocolaspis chrysites is a species of leaf beetle from East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It was first described by the German entomologist Carl Eduard Adolph Gerstaecker in 1871. The species is sometimes included within the genus Macrocoma, for example in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera.
Jonthonota is a genus of tortoise beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least two described species in Jonthonota.
Glyphuroplata is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least four described species in Glyphuroplata.
Stenopodius is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about seven described species in Stenopodius.
Odontota is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about nine described species in Odontota.
Mantura floridana is a species of flea beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America. Larvae feed on Fallopia scandens. They appear yellow through the leaf epidermis, as the larvae are leaf miners.
Erepsocassis is a genus of tortoise beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, containing a single species, E. rubella.
Microctenochira is a genus of tortoise beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least 110 described species in the genus Microctenochira.
Scelolyperus is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 20 described species in Scelolyperus. They are found in North America, Mexico, and the Palaearctic.
Charidotella is a genus of tortoise beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least 100 described species in Charidotella.
Cadiz is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Chrysomelinae, found in North America. It contains only one species, Cadiz hardyi, which was described from the Cadiz Dunes in San Bernardino County, California.
Opacinota is a genus of tortoise beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, containing a single species, O. bisignata.
Hemisphaerota is a genus in the subfamily Cassidinae in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 10 described species in Hemisphaerota.
Keitheatus is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There is one described species in Keitheatus, Keitheatus blakeae. They are found in Texas.
Floridocassis is a genus of tortoise beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, containing a single species, F. repudiata.
Octotoma is a genus of tortoise beetles and hispines in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 12 described species in Octotoma.
Neolochmaea is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are three described species in Neolochmaea. They are found in the Neotropics.
Macrocoma rubripes is a species of leaf beetle from Europe, Asia and possibly North Africa. It was first described by Ludwig Wilhelm Schaufuss in 1862, as a species of Pseudocolaspis.
