Percolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. [2] 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. [3]

In Brazil, Percolaspis ornata is an important pest of Theobroma cacao (cocoa) in Bahia and Espírito Santo. A species identified as Percolaspis cf. ornata was also recently found feeding and damaging soybean, corn and cotton crops in Mato Grosso, Brazil. [4]

<i>Colaspis</i> Genus of leaf beetles

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.

<i>Paria</i> (beetle) Genus of leaf beetles from North and South America

Paria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are about 40 described species in Paria in North and South America, 19 of which are known north of Mexico. The genus is very similar to Typophorus.

<i>Brachypnoea</i> Genus of beetles

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.

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

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.

Zenocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America and South America. There are at least two described species in Zenocolaspis. The genus is very similar to Colaspis, but the body is smaller and the eyes are strongly convex and prominent externally.

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.

<i>Typophorus</i> Genus of leaf beetles from North and South America

Typophorus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are at least 52 described species in Typophorus. Similar genera include Paria and Tijucana. Typophorus itself is probably polyphyletic.

Prionodera is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Central and South 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.
