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.
Metachroma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed from Ontario, Canada to Mendoza, Argentina, including the Antilles. It has also been suggested that the genus extends to the Pacific Islands, though this is not confirmed. There are about 140 described species in Metachroma, 40 of which are found north of Mexico. An extinct species is also known from the Eocene of the United States.
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.
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.
Rhabdopterus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are about 70 described species in Rhabdopterus from North and South America, eight of which are found north of Mexico. The Nearctic species may not be congeneric with the type species, which is South American.
Euphrytus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 29 described species in Euphrytus from Central and North America, three of which are found north of Mexico.
Chrysodinopsis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It was first described by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in 1950. There are three described species in Chrysodinopsis. The genus is possibly synonymous with Brachypnoea.
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.
Metaparia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are nine described species in Metaparia, from North America and Central 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.
Metaxyonycha is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
Allocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.
Freudeita is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are found in South America. The genus is dedicated to the German entomologist Heinz Freude.
Adorea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains seven species, which are found in Central America and northern South America.
Antitypona is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are found in Central America and South America.
Nodocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are known from Central America and South America. The genus was first established by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in 1949, as a relative of Nodonota containing species formerly placed in Colaspis.
Typophorus nigritus is a species of leaf beetle in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is found in North, Central, and South America.
Coytiera is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America.
Chalcoplacis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South America.
