Viswajyothi, Keezhpattillam & Clark, Shawn M., 2022, New World genera of Galerucinae Latreille, 1802 (tribes Galerucini Latreille, 1802, Metacyclini Chapuis, 1875, and Luperini Gistel, 1848): an annotated list and identification key (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), European Journal of Taxonomy 842, pp. 1-102 : 35

Genus Phyllobrotica Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836

Phyllobrotica Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836: 381 (type species Chrysomela quadrimaculata Linnaeus, 1758 , by subsequent designation of Thomson 1859).

Stachysivora Farrell & Mitter, 1990: 1391 (nomen nudum).

Remarks

This Holarctic genus includes 18 described species in the New World , all from Canada and the United States. See Figs 132, 134 , 199 , and 225 for a habitus illustration and morphological details. See Wilcox (1965) for a key that includes most of the Nearctic species. However, realize that three species have been named subsequent to that key ( Hatch 1971; Riley 1979; Gilbert 2008), and an undescribed species was recognized in an unpublished thesis ( Farrell 1985).
