Section Monoleptites Chapuis, 1875

Remarks

The taxonomic rank and relationships of this group have varied quite dramatically. The group is sometimes viewed as a subtribe within the tribe Luperini (e.g., Wilcox 1965), while other times it is treated as a section within the subtribe Luperina (e.g., Seeno & Wilcox 1982). However, in spite of the superficial similarity with the luperines, we concur with Nie et al. (2018) that the group is quite distinct. Perhaps, it should be treated as a separate tribe of Galerucinae . Even so, until greater consensus is achieved, we continue to list it as a section of Luperina .
