​

Subfamily Chrysomelinae is a large and diverse group of leaf beetles within the family Chrysomelidae. Members of this subfamily are typically medium-sized, oval to rounded beetles that often display bright metallic, iridescent, or vividly patterned colours. Both adults and larvae are primarily herbivorous, feeding on the leaves, stems, flowers, and occasionally roots of a wide variety of plants. heir diversity, colourful appearance, and complex interactions with host plants make them one of the most extensively studied groups of beetles.
