Following the leaf beetle classification of Seeno and Wilcox (1982), the genera of Eumolpini are divided into five informal groups or "sections": Corynodites, Edusites, Endocephalites, Eumolpites and Iphimeites. In the ''Catalog of the leaf beetles of America North of Mexico'', published in 2003, the section Myochroites of Bromiini was placed in synonymy with the section Iphimeites in Eumolpini.
