Eumolpopsis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Eumolpopsis dimidiatus, found in Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The species was first described by Martin Jacoby in 1893, who named it Pseudeumolpus dimidiatus. However, Pseudeumolpus was found to be preoccupied, so the genus was renamed to Eumolpopsis by Jacoby in 1894.

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.

<i>Afroeurydemus</i> Genus of leaf beetles from Africa

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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typophorini</span> Tribe of leaf beetles

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.

Proliniscus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, found in Africa. Most of its species were originally placed in Liniscus or Syagrus.

Mandollia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, found in Africa. Two of its species were originally placed in Rhembastus.

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.
