Phola (beetle)
''Phola'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Chrysomelinae. It occurs in east and south-east Asia, the south-west Pacific, eastern and northern Australia. It was formerly a synonym of ''Chalcolampra''. It is distinguished from other chrysomeline genera in Australia by the twisted wikt:epipleuron, epipleura, but its recognition may render either ''Chalcolampra'' or ''Phyllocharis'' paraphyletic. List of species The genus contains the following species: * ''Phola decemmaculata'' (Lea, 1903) * ''Phola delicatula'' (Lea, 1916) * ''Phola octodecimguttata'' (Fabricius, 1775) * ''Phola quadrifasciata'' (Lea, 1916) * ''Phola sedecimpustulata'' (Stål, 1857) * ''Phola tenuis'' (Lea, 1916) * ''Phola vitticollis'' (Lea, 1915) References Chrysomelinae Beetles of Asia Beetles of Australia Chrysomelidae genera Taxa named by Julius Weise {{Chrysomelinae-stub ...

Julius Weise
Julius Weise (6 June 1844 – 25 February 1925) was a German entomologist. He specialised in Coleoptera, especially Chrysomelidae and Coccinellidae, and was one of the first entomologists to use genitalia to identify and classify species. His collections of Chrysomelidae, Coccinellidae, Staphylinidae and Carabidae are in the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, and his collections of Cerambycidae and Coccinellidae are in the National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. at www.biol.uni.wroc.pl Collections of and the |
