Glyptoscelis Prosopis

''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.

According to BugGuide and ITIS, the genus is now placed in the tribe Eumolpini instead of Adoxini.
