Poneridia is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least seven described species in Poneridia, found in Australasia and Indomalaya. [1] [2] [3]
These seven species belong to the genus Poneridia:
The Galerucinae are a large subfamily of the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), containing about 15,000 species in more than 1000 genera, of which about 500 genera and about 8000 species make up the flea beetle tribe Alticini.
Paropsis is a genus of Chrysomelidae, commonly referred to as tortoise beetles, which includes over 70 described species. Their small size, bright colours and patterns, and roughly hemispherical shape cause them to be mistaken for beetles in the family Coccinellidae (ladybirds). They are distributed across Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. Some species, Paropsis atomaria in particular, have been introduced to the United States in California with first official documented sightings in 2022. They primarily feed on Eucalyptus but there are a few that feed on Baeckea, Kunzea and Leptospermum. Species within this genus are noted as pests. For example, Paropsis charybdis is a pest of Eucalyptus in New Zealand.
Galerucini is a tribe of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 70 genera and at least 480 described species in Galerucini.
Tricholochmaea is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles and flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are 21 described species and two subspecies of Tricholochmaea. It is treated as a synonym of Pyrrhalta by some authors, but not by others.
Triarius is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about seven described species in Triarius. They are found in North America and Mexico.
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.
Monolepta is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. It is the most diverse and widely distributed genus in the Galerucinae sensu stricto, with more than 700 described species occurring almost worldwide. It is missing from the Nearctic realm.
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.
Rupilia is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 15 described species in Rupilia, found in Australasia.
Pseudorupilia is a genus of swollen restio beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about nine described species in Pseudorupilia. They are found in sub-Saharan Africa.
Adoxia is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 60 described species in Adoxia, found in Australia and New Zealand.
Mimastra is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 60 described species in Mimastra. They are found in Indomalaya and the Palearctic.
Theopea is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 25 described species in Theopea. They are found in Indomalaya and the Palearctic. It is closely related to the genera Pseudotheopea and Borneotheopea.
Morphosphaera is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 11 described species in Morphosphaera. They are found in Indomalaya and eastern Asia.
Gallerucida is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are at least 19 described species in Gallerucida. They are found in Indomalaya and eastern Asia.
Sphenoraia is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 24 described species in Sphenoraia. They are found in Indomalaya and the Palaearctic.
Poneridia semipullata, the figleaf beetle, is a species of skeletonizing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae, found mainly in Australia.
Clitenella is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are five described species in Clitenella, found in Indomalaya and the Palearctic.
Agelasa is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are two described species in Agelasa, one extinct. They are found in the Palearctic.
