<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.

Promecosoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 26 described species in Promecosoma. Most species are found in Mexico, though two species are also known from southern Arizona.

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

Glyptoscelis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 38 species of Glyptoscelis described from North, Central and South America. There are also three species of Glyptoscelis known from the West Indies, though they are wrongly placed in the genus. In addition, a single species was described from Hunan, China in 2021.

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

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.

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.

Metaparia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are nine described species in Metaparia, distributed from the United States to Central America.

<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.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Typophorini</span> 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 notches on the tibiae of the middle and hind legs, which are sometimes referred to as antenna cleaners. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as bifid pretarsal claws.

Alethaxius is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed from Mexico to northern South America, and it is also found in the West Indies. The genus was originally named Aletes by Félicien Chapuis in 1874. However, this name was preoccupied by Aletes Carpenter, 1857, so the genus was renamed to Alethaxius by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885. According to Flowers (1996), it is very likely that Alethaxius is polyphyletic and represents at least three different genera.

Antitypona is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is found in Central America and South America.

Nycterodina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from South America.

Nodocolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is 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.

Lamprosphaerus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is found in Central America and South America.
