The Eumolpinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. It is one of the largest subfamilies of leaf beetles, including more than 500 genera and 7000 species. They are oval, and convex in form, and measure up to 10 mm in size. Typical coloration for this subfamily of beetles ranges from bright yellow to dark red. Many species are iridescent or brilliantly metallic blue or green in appearance.
The Spilopyrinae are a small subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. They occur in Australia, New Guinea, New Caledonia and Chile. They were formerly considered a tribe of the subfamily Eumolpinae. The group was elevated to subfamily rank by C. A. M. Reid in 2000. However, some authors have criticised this placement, preferring to retain them within the Eumolpinae.
Acronymolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to New Caledonia. There are two species placed in the genus, both of which are sexually dimorphic; the females are large and reddish, and the males are small and black. A member of the tribe Eumolpini, Acronymolpus is distinguished from other members of the tribe in New Caledonia by its enlarged metacoxae, which occupy most of the first abdominal ventrite and nearly reach its posterior margin.
Gressittana is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Gressittana sculpturata, which was originally placed in Rhyparida. The genus is endemic to New Guinea, and is named after Judson Linsley Gressitt.
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.
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.
Rhyparidella is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in New Guinea and New Britain.
Phainodina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in New Guinea, and its name refers to the beetles being shiny and Nodina-shaped.
Iviva is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in New Guinea, and it is named after the type locality of the type species, Lake Iviva (Sirunki), in the Western Highlands province of Papua New Guinea.
Micromolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in New Guinea, and its name refers to "a small eumolpine beetle".
Stizomolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Stizomolpus kebarus. It is distributed in New Guinea. The name of the genus refers to the strong punctures and "eumolpine beetle".
Rhynchomolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in New Guinea, and the name refers to its resemblance to a snout beetle.
Sedlacekia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Sedlacekia pandani. It is distributed in New Guinea. The genus is named after Josef and Marie Sedlacek, who collected part of the type material.
Stethotes is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific.
Aphilenia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Central and East Asia as well as southern Russia. Members of the genus are adapted to dry climates, and feed on bushes of the genus Calligonum. In 2012, the genus was moved from the tribe Bromiini to the tribe Nodinini.
Dictyneis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to Chile. It is apterous.
Fidia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in East Asia, Southeast Asia and Africa.
Cleoparida is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in the Solomon Islands.
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.
