Colaspis
''Colaspis'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily, containing over 200 species, and it is known from both North and South America. A number of species from this genus are considered to be pests, such as the grape colaspis ('' Colaspis brunnea''). Some species are known from the fossil record from the Eocene of Colorado in the United States. Taxonomy In some publications for the Neotropical realm, ''Colaspis'' is also known as ''Maecolaspis''. This alternative name was created by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in 1950, due to an error relating to the type species of ''Colaspis'': Bechyné incorrectly considered ''Colaspis testacea'' to be the type species of ''Colaspis'', rather than ''Chrysomela flavicornis''. As a result, '' Metaxyonycha'', which shared the same type species, was synonymised with ''Colaspis''. The species of ''Colaspis'' in the Junk-Schenkling catalog were then placed under Bechyné's new n ...

Colaspis Brunnea
''Colaspis brunnea'', the grape colaspis, is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It mainly occurs in the eastern United States. It is a pest of crop such as corn Maize ( ; ''Zea mays'' subsp.

Th ... and soybeans, but damage by it has not been documented as economically significant. It is univoltine, and overwinters in the soil as larvae. The adults are brown-colored (''brunnea'' is Latin for brown) and are around 5 mm in length. The elytra have a series of parallel rows of "puncture" marks. The larvae are scarabaeiform grub with white-grey bodies and orange head capsules, and are between 5 and 6.5 mm long at the 10th instar.

Metaxyonycha
''Metaxyonycha'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Taxonomy ''Metaxyonycha'' was first named by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1836, with the spelling "''Metazyonycha''", in Dejean's ''Catalogue of Coleoptera''. According to Bousquet ''et al.'' in 2013, ''Metaxyonycha'' is an incorrect subsequent spelling of ''Metazyonycha''. However, because the subsequent spelling is in prevailing usage and is attributed to the original spelling's publication, "''Metaxyonycha''" is considered the correct spelling. In some publications for the Neotropical realm, ''Metaxyonycha'' is also known as "''Colaspis''". This was because the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné had synonymised ''Metaxyonycha'' with ''Colaspis'', after incorrectly assuming the two had the same type species, while splitting the species of ''Colaspis'' listed in the ''Coleopterorum Catalogus'' (a beetle catalog edited by Wilhelm Junk and Sigmund Schenkling) into a separate genus known as "''Maec ...

Zenocolaspis
''Zenocolaspis'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America and South America. There are at least two described species in ''Zenocolaspis''. The genus is very similar to ''Colaspis'' (also known as ''Maecolaspis''), but the body is smaller and the eyes are strongly convex and prominent externally. The genus was established by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in a monograph titled "Evaluación de los datos sobre los Phytophaga dañinos en Venezuela (Coleoptera)" before his death in 1973, but the work (including the description of the genus) was unpublished until October 1997. However, as early as 1968 it was indicated that some species from ''Colaspis'' had been moved to ''Zenocolaspis'', before the formal description of the latter was published.
