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.
