Synonyms:
Colasposoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Platycorynus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa and Asia.
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.
Macrocoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains about 100 species, which are found in tropical Africa, around the Mediterranian, on the Canary Islands, in western and central Asia, and in India. Macrocoma has sometimes been considered a synonym of Pseudocolaspis.
Syagrus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are known from the mainland of Africa as well as Madagascar. 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.
Afroeurydemus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, found in Africa. The genus was separated from Eurydemus in 1965 by Brian J. Selman, who moved all African species of Eurydemus he had seen to this genus or related African genera and considered it likely that Eurydemus was restricted to Fiji. Many species were also originally placed in Syagrus.
Lefevrea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa.
Paraivongius is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa.
Pseudocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains about 80 species, which are found in tropical Africa.
Dermoxanthus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa.

Melindea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa.
Microsyagrus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa. Many of the species were formerly placed in Syagrus.
Pagria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Phascus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa and Saudi Arabia.
Zohrana is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa. It is also sometimes known as Zohranus.
Thysbina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa. It was first established by the German entomologist Julius Weise in 1902, for several species from Colasposoma as well as three new species. According to Louis Jules Léon Burgeon in 1941, Thysbina is actually a synonym of Colasposoma, though this proposed synonymy has been ignored in later works.
Euryopini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
