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named subsequent to that key (Hatch 1971; Riley 1979; Gilbert 2008), and an undescribed species was recognized in an unpublished thesis (Farrell 1985).
