''Chrysolina'' is a large genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Chrysomelinae. Most species are distributed in Europe, Asia and Africa with a small number of species inhabiting North America (including introduced European ones) and introduced species in Australia. The species '' Chrysolina cerealis'' and '' C. graminis'' are protected in the United Kingdom. All species of ''Chrysolina'' are phytophagous, feeding on specific food plants, and some of them have been used for biological control of weeds. To control '' Hypericum perforatum'' (St John's wort), ''C. hyperici'' was successfully naturalized in
