Colaspoides
Colaspoides is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily, containing over 260 species worldwide. It is an extant genus but there is at least one species, C. eocenicus, found in Baltic amber from the Upper Eocene of Russia, and the genus has also been reported from the Miocene of the Dominican Republic.
The Neotropical species of Colaspoides, including the type species, lack elytra-locking grooves on the pygidium, unlike in the Asian species and in similar-looking Neotropical Eumolpinae genera such as Beltia. According to Flowers (2018), this suggests that the Asian species of Colaspoides should be transferred to different genera.
