Galerucinae
The Galerucinae are a large subfamily of the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), containing about 15,000 species in more than 1000 genera, of which about 500 genera and about 8000 species make up the flea beetle tribe Alticini. The division into tribes is more a matter of tradition than based on modern research. Some genera, for example ''Yingaresca'', are better considered ''incertae sedis'' due to a general lack of knowledge. And while a good case can be made for some tribes – namely the Alticini and Galerucini – being all but monophyletic even in their traditional delimitation, others, such as Luperini (beetle), Luperini, appear to be just paraphyletic assemblages of primitive and more basal (evolution), basal genera.

Acalymma
''Acalymma'' is a genus of leaf beetles found mainly in the New World. Approximately 72 species have been described in the Western Hemisphere. Pest Species and Impacts In the United States, two species are major pests of cucurbits, the striped cucumber beetle (''Acalymma vittatum''), which is mainly found east of the Mississippi River, and ''Acalymma trivittatum'' which is mostly found west of the Mississippi. Adults feed on young leaves, and larvae can damage roots. ''A. vittatum'' vectors bacterial wilt ''Erwinia tracheiphila'' Holland (Enterobacteriales: Enterobacteriaceae) to the plants as it pierces plant stems to suck juices. Species included The genus includes the following species: *'' Acalymma albidovittatum'' (Baly, 1889) – cucumber beetle *'' Acalymma bechynei'' Cabrera, 1999 *''Acalymma bertoluccii'' Gilbert & Clark, 2007 *'' Acalymma bivittulum'' (Kirsch, 1883) (Synonym: ''A. xanthographa'' Bechyné, 1955) *'' Acalymma blandulum'' (LeConte, 1868) *'' Acalymma blom ...

Alticini
The flea beetle is a small, jumping beetle of the leaf beetle family (Chrysomelidae), that makes up the tribe Alticini which is part of the subfamily Galerucinae. Historically the flea beetles were classified as their own subfamily. Though most tribes of the Galerucinae are suspect of rampant paraphyly in the present delimitation, the Alticini seem to form a good clade. Description and ecology The adults are very small to moderately sized Chrysomelidae (i.e. among beetles in general they are on the smallish side). They are similar to other leaf beetles, but characteristically have the hindleg femora greatly enlarged. These enlarged femora allow for the springing action of these insects when disturbed. Flea beetles can also walk normally and fly. Many flea beetles are attractively colored; dark, shiny and often metallic colors predominate. Adult flea beetles feed externally on plants, eating the surface of the leaves, stems and petals. Under heavy feeding the small round hole ...

Aulacophora
''Aulacophora'' is a genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, commonly known as pumpkin beetles; some species are pests of agricultural crops. The genus was named in 1836 by the French entomologist Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat, in Dejean's ''Catalogue des Coléoptères''. The name, from Ancient Greek, signifies "furrow-bearer"' from ''aulax'', "furrow". Description Beetles in this genus are oval insects up to about long and can be recognised by their presence on the host plant. Distribution Pumpkin beetles are found in Africa, Asia and Australasia. Some of the more important pest species are '' A. foveicollis'' from Africa, Europe and Asia, '' A. similis'' from southern and southeastern Asia, '' A. coffeae'' from Malaysia, '' A. flavomarginata'' from Malaysia and Indonesia, '' A. femoralis'' from Myanmar and Vietnam, '' A. lewisii'' from Malaysia and Vietnam, and '' A. frontalis'' from Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.

Chrysomelidae
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000) species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research. Leaf beetles are partially recognizable by their tarsal formula, which appears to be 4-4-4, but is actually 5-5-5 as the fourth tarsal segment is very small and hidden by the third. As with many taxa, no single character defines the Chrysomelidae; instead, the family is delineated by a set of characters. Some lineages are only distinguished with difficulty from longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae), namely by the antennae not arising from frontal tubercles. Adult and larval leaf beetles feed on all sorts of plant tissue, and all species are fully herbivorous. Many are serious pests of cultivated plants, ...
