Eurypelta is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from India.[3]

The genus was originally named Euraspis by Félicien Chapuis in 1874. However, the name was determined to be a spelling error of Euryaspis, which was preoccupied by the beetle genus Euryaspis Blanchard, 1851, so Chapuis's genus was renamed to Eurypelta by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885.[1]

Species

  • Eurypelta modesta (Fabricius, 1792)
