Arsoa
''Arsoa'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It was first established by the French entomologist Léon Fairmaire in 1901, for two species described from Androy Plateau, in southern Madagascar. Adult males in the genus have very long forelegs. The genus was originally placed by Fairmaire in the family Clythridae (now known as the tribe Clytrini), near ''Miopristis''. However, Martin Jacoby later determined that it actually belonged to Eumolpinae, and placed it in the "Edusinae" (now known as the section "Edusites" of the tribe Eumolpini), near ''Abirus''. Description Adult males have very long forelegs that are slender and straight; the Arthropod leg#Femur, femurs are thicker, and are almost as long as the Arthropod leg#Tibia, tibias. The head is the same width as the thorax, and truncated in front. The antennae protrude a little from the middle of the body, are very slender, except the first segment, the third a little longer than the next, the last barely th ...
