Genus Xanthogaleruca Laboissière, 1934

Xanthogaleruca Laboissière, 1934: 67

(type species Chrysomela luteola Müller, 1766 , by monotypy).

Remarks

One species, X. luteola (Müller, 1766) , is native to the Palearctic Region but has been accidentally introduced to both North and South America. See Fig. 24 for a habitus illustration. Nie et al. (2013) treated Xanthogaleruca as a synonym of Pyrrhalta . However, Lee & Bezděk (2021) regarded Xanthogaleruca to be a valid genus, separate from Pyrrhalta . At least until additional evidence is available, we also treat Xanthogaleruca as a separate genus.
