Tanybria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. [2] It is distributed in Africa.

Tanybria was originally known as Eubrachis, in the sense of Louis Jules Léon Burgeon  [ nl ], who gave a description of the genus in 1940. However, this name was unavailable, as it was preoccupied by Eubrachis as first used by Dejean in his catalogue in 1836 (as an unnecessary replacement name for Pseudocolaspis ), and Eubrachis in the sense of Joseph Sugar Baly in 1878 (now a synonym of Macrocoma ). Because of this, Burgeon's Eubrachis was renamed to Tanybria by Brian J. Selman in 1963. [1]

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Paraivongius is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa.

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

Pseudocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains about 80 species, which are found in tropical Africa.

Eumolpini 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.

Typophorini 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 antenna cleaners on the tibiae of the middle and hind legs. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as bifid pretarsal claws.

Euryope is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

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.

Eurydemus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa and Fiji.

Menius is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa.

Pagria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.

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.

Scelodonta is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The genus includes over 70 species, mainly from the Afrotropical, Palearctic and Oriental biogeographic realms. Only three species are found in Australia.

Bromiini Tribe of leaf beetles

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.
