Taphioporus is an extinct genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Baltic and Rovno amber from the upper Eocene.

The generic name is a combination of the generic names Taphius (the old name for Pathius ) and Cleoporus . [1]

Psyllototus is an extinct genus of flea beetles described from the late Eocene Rovno amber of Ukraine, and from the Baltic amber of Russia and Denmark. It was named by Konstantin Nadein and Evgeny Perkovsky in 2010, and the type species is Psyllototus progenitor. In 2016, a newly described extant flea beetle genus from Bolivia, Chanealtica, was found to be most similar to Psyllototus, based on the characters available for observation.

Acolaspoides is an extinct genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Acolaspoides longipes, and is known only from lowermost Eocene amber collected from Le Quesnoy, Oise Department, France.

Aoriopsis is an extinct genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Aoriopsis eocenicus, and is known only from lowermost Eocene amber collected from Le Quesnoy, Oise Department, France.

Paleomolpus is an extinct genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, Paleomolpus hirtus. It is known from late Eocene amber from Denmark. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek palaios and -molpus. The specific name, Latin for hairy, refers to the pubescent dorsum of the species.

<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.
