Euryopini
Euryopini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Taxonomy Following the leaf beetle classification of Seeno and Wilcox (1982), the genera of Euryopini are divided into three informal groups or "sections": Colasposomites, Euryopites and Prasoideites. Genera These 20 genera belong to the tribe Euryopini: (note: the tribe Euryopini is listed as "Eumolpini") * ''Bechyneia'' Jolivet, 1950 * ''Cheiridella'' Martin Jacoby, Jacoby, 1904 * ''Colasposoma'' François-Louis Laporte, comte de Castelnau, Laporte, 1833 * ''Eumolpopsis'' Martin Jacoby, Jacoby, 1894 * ''Euryope'' Johan Wilhelm Dalman, Dalman, 1824 * ''Lefevrea'' Martin Jacoby, Jacoby, 1897 * ''Lucignolo (beetle), Lucignolo'' Zoia, 2010 * ''Melindea'' Édouard Lefèvre, Lefèvre, 1884 * ''Microhermesia'' Martin Jacoby, Jacoby, 1900 * ''Obelistes'' Édouard Lefèvre, Lefèvre, 1885 * ''Odontiomorpha'' Martin Jacoby, Jacoby, 1900 * ''Odontionopa'' Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat, Chevrolat ''in'' Pierre François ...

Eumolpinae
The Eumolpinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. It is one of the largest subfamilies of leaf beetles, including more than 500 genera and 7000 species. They are oval, and convex in form, and measure up to 10 mm in size. Typical coloration for this subfamily of beetles ranges from bright yellow to dark red. Many species are iridescent or brilliantly metallic blue or green in appearance. Description Eumolpinae can be recognized at first sight by their rounded thoraces, more or less spherical or bell-shaped, but always significantly narrower than the mesothorax as covered by the elytra. Additional features include a small head set deeply into the thorax, and usually well-developed legs. They generally resemble other Chrysomelidae, but differ in having front coxae rounded and third tarsal segment bilobed beneath. Many are metallic, or yellow and spotted. The dogbane beetle ('' Chrysochus auratus''), for instance, is very attractive—iridescent blue-green wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thysbina
''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 in 1941, ''Thysbina'' is actually a synonym of ''Colasposoma'', though this proposed synonymy has been ignored in later works. (note: the tribe Euryopini is listed as "Eumolpini") Species * '' Thysbina amata'' ( J. Thomson, 1858) * '' Thysbina antiqua'' ( Harold, 1879) * '' Thysbina bicostata'' Weise, 1902 * '' Thysbina fallax'' Weise, 1902 * '' Thysbina femoralis'' ( Lefèvre, 1877) * '' Thysbina lefevrei'' ( Baly, 1881) * '' Thysbina pleuralis'' Weise, 1915 * '' Thysbina rufipes'' Weise, 1902 * '' Thysbina viridimarginata'' ( Jacoby, 1894) Species moved to '' Ennodius'': * ''Thysbina caerulea'' Pic, 1952 * ''Thysbina gabonica'' Pic, 1952: synonym of '' Ennodius murrayi'' ( Chapuis, 1874) Species moved to '' Timentes'' ...

Félicien Chapuis
Félicien Chapuis (29 April 1824 – 30 September 1879) was a Belgian doctor and entomologist. He specialised in Coleoptera Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects.

Timentes
''Timentes'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, ''Timentes camerunensis'', from Cameroon and possibly Tanzania. It is closely related to ''Thysbina''. The genus was originally erected by Brian J. Selman for a single species, ''Timentes flavipes''. According to Selman, the genus and species were originally named by Julius Weise at an unknown date (probably 1885–6), from material in the Jacoby collection found at the Natural History Museum, London. However, they were not described until 1965 by Selman himself, who preserved Weise's names for them. The holotype of ''T. flavipes'' has a label that gives its locality as "East Africa" without further indication, though it was thought by Selman to probably come from Tanganyika in Tanzania. In 2019, Stefano Zoia found that ''Timentes flavipes'' was a junior synonym of ''Thysbina camerunensis'', a species described by Maurice Pic from Edéa Edéa is a city located along the ...

Julius Weise
Julius Weise (6 June 1844 – 25 February 1925) was a German entomologist. He specialised in Coleoptera, especially Chrysomelidae and Coccinellidae, and was one of the first entomologists to use genitalia to identify and classify species. His collections of Chrysomelidae, Coccinellidae, Staphylinidae and Carabidae are in the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, and his collections of Cerambycidae and Coccinellidae are in the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. at www.biol.uni.wroc.pl Collections of Curculionidae and the Scolytidae are in |

''Pathius'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The genus was originally named ''Taphius'' by Martin Jacoby in 1897; however, this name was preoccupied by ''Taphius'' Adams, 1855 (a genus in Mollusca, currently a synonym of '' Biomphalaria'' Preston, 1910) and ''Taphius'' Rafinesque, 1815 (a ''nomen nudum'' genus in Crustacea), so it was renamed to ''Pathius'' by N.
