Leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae; ~40,000 species) are commonly solitary animals but subsociality, maternal care of broods, is known in Cassidinae and Chrysomelinae. We report 11 novel records from Brazil and Peru, bringing the number of subsocial chrysomelids to 35 species in 10 genera. Two evolutionary models of chrysomelid subsociality have been proposed. One proposed three independent origins within Chrysomelinae, based on the potential phylogenetic positions of subsocial genera. The other…

Molecular systematics reveals the origins of subsociality in tortoise beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Cassidinae)
TLDR
A molecular phylogenetic reconstruction of the tribes Mesomphaliini and Eugenysini was used to investigate the evolution of maternal care and to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships among Neotropical cassidine tribes, and re‐establish synonymy of both tribes.
Three New Reports of Subsocial Tortoise Beetles from South America (Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae)
TLDR
This report increases the dataset of documented subsocial cassidines to 26 species, with 23 in Mesomphaliini and three in Eugenysini, and reports three new records of subsocial Cassidinae.
Beetles (Coleoptera) of Peru: A Survey of the Families. Chrysomelidae: Chrysomelinae
TLDR
Neotropical Chrysomelinae are among the most colorful Neotropical forest insects and have been a favorite of collectors during the classical era of natural history collecting, however, for most species almost nothing is known beyond the scientific name and type locality.
New Reports of Subsocial Species of Proseicela Chevrolat and Platyphora Gistel (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Chrysomelinae: Chrysomelini)
TLDR
Two new records of subsocial Chrysomelinae in the genus Proseicela Chevrolat are added and one new record in PlatyphoraGistel is added and there is an issue of inconsistent spelling and authorship in the literature around the former genus name.
Beetles (Coleoptera) of Peru: A Survey of the Families. Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae Gyllenhal sensu lato
TLDR
Cassidine larvae are poorly documented, requiring close examination of leaves for blotch and linear mines, and it is most efficient to collect cassidines by targeted beating with sheet on such plants.
Natural history and population dynamics of the subsocial tortoise beetle Omaspides (Paromaspides) brunneosignata Boheman 1854 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae)
TLDR
Omaspides (P.) brunneosignata is a bivoltine species, being abundant during the hot and rainy months and not being observed in the dry and cold season, a similar pattern to that of other cassidines of mountainous tropical areas in Brazil.
Chrysomelinae species (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) and new biological data from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
TLDR
These Brazil Chrysomelinae species exhibited a clear seasonal pattern, with more species recorded in the hot and rainy season from October to January, and considerably fewer species from June to August, during the drier and colder months.
Beetles (Coleoptera) of Peru: A Survey of the Families. Chrysomelidae: Criocerinae
TLDR
Criocerine adults and larvae are phytophagous, showing distinct preferences for certain plant families, especially the monocotyledonous families Commelinaceae, Dioscoraceae, Liliaceae, Marantaceae, Orchidaceae, Poaceae, and the dicotylingonous family, Solanaceae.
Natural History Notes on Stolas conspersa (Germar, 1823) from Brazil (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae: Mesomphaliini)
The Neotropical tortoise beetle genus Stolas Billberg, 1820 comprises 187 recognized species (Borowiec and Świętojańska 2002–2018). The genus has not been revised and the natural history and life…
Tortoise beetles of an Atlantic Forest remnant in south Minas Gerais, Brazil: host plants and life history
TLDR
A novel contribution to the tortoise beetle diversity studies in Brazil, as well as their natural history and life cycle within the Atlantic Forest, a diverse and endangered Neotropical biome is made.

Survivorship of Immature Stages of Eurypedus nigrosignatus Boheman (Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae: Physonotini) in Central Panama
TLDR
Larvae of the leaf beetle Eurypedus nigrosignatus Boheman carry fecula and cast skins on their dorsa forming a protective device, commonly called a fecal shield, which increases in size throughout larval development; however, the shield of prepupal individuals is partially lost.
Recalibrated Tree of Leaf Beetles (Chrysomelidae) Indicates Independent Diversification of Angiosperms and Their Insect Herbivores
TLDR
Chrysomelid beetles likely radiated long after the origin of their host lineages and their diversification was driven by repeated radiaton on a pre-existing diverse resource, rather than ancient host associations.
BIOLOGY AND PHYLOGENY OF THE CASSIDINAE GYLLENHAL SENSU LATO (TORTOISE AND LEAF-MINING BEETLES) (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELIDAE)
TLDR
The biological account and phylogenetic results provide an opportunity for identifying some general trends and major innovations in the evolutionary history of Cassidinae.
Spilopyrinae Chapuis: a new subfamily in the Chrysomelidae and its systematic placement (Coleoptera).
TLDR
The phylogeny of the Chrysomeloidea is re-assessed, with data from recently described larvae of three chrysomeloid taxa, indicating an origin before the late Cretaceous break-up of Gondwana.
Biology of Omaspides pallidipennis Boheman, 1854 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae)
TLDR
The biology and the feeding habits of the subsocial species Omaspides pallidipennis were studied at the Floresta Nacional de Passa Quatro, MG, Brazil, during the period from October 2010 to April 2011, during which the female remained close to offspring, only feeding during the larval stage of the juveniles.
Maternally inherited architecture in tertiary leaf beetles: paleoichnology of cryptocephaline fecal cases in Dominican and Baltic amber
TLDR
These fossils are the first and earliest evidence of mother–offspring interaction, building behavior, and fecal recycling in Camptosomata beetles and of inheritance of architectural structures in beetles.
A natural history of conspecific aggregations in terrestrial arthropods, with emphasis on cycloalexy in leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
TLDR
In insects, cycloalexic-associated behaviors may include coordinated movements, such as the adoption of seemingly threatening postures, regurgitation of presumably toxic compounds, as well as biting movements, which appear to be associated with attempts to repel objects perceived to be threatening, including potential predators or parasitoids.
Mitochondrial DNA Phylogeny and the Evolution of Host-Plant Use in Palearctic Chrysolina (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) Leaf Beetles
TLDR
The results were compared to current proposals for Chrysolina systematics that are based on morphological, ecological, and karyological data and suggested the absence of parallel evolution of beetles and their host plants.
A cladistic analysis of subfamilial relationships I in the Chrysomelidae sensu lato ( Chrysomeloidea )
  • Biology
  • 2005
A phylogeny of the subfamilies traditionally assigned to the Chrysomelidae and Bruchidae is suggested, based on cladistic relationships of 29 family-rank taxa and 71 characters. The analysis is…
Reproductive and subsocial behaviour in the ovoviviparous leaf beetle Gonioctena sibirica (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the main mortality factor of offspring is pedestrian arthropod predators and females physically repel the predators, and potentially alternative reproductive strategies seem to be inhibited in G.sibirica by larval dependence on growing young leaves which are temporally limited and by ovoviviparity which may have limited brood size.
