Paropsides
''Paropsides'' is a genus of beetles commonly called leaf beetles and in the subfamily Chrysomelinae. They are distributed from eastern Asia to eastern Australia. ''Paropsides'' are small and specialist feeders on native Australian plants. There are 21 species in Australia and they occur mainly on the south-eastern states. The green ''Paropsides calypso'' is a native species which commonly attacks the lillipilli genus ''Syzygium''. ''Paropsides opposita'' feeds on Melaleuca, Tea tree ''Melaleuca, Melaleuca sp''. ''Paropsides'' belongs to the ''Paropsis''-group of genera, with similar head, appendages, Prothorax, prosternum, Elytron, elytra, Arthropod leg, tarsi and larva. Among these genera it is defined by possession of a single attribute, a full complement of pronotal (thoracic) trichobothria (bristles), which is almost certainly a plesiomorphy. ''Paropsides'' is therefore unlikely to be Monophyly, monophyletic. References Chrysomelinae Beetles of Asia Beetles of ...
