Abiromorphus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, including two species found in eastern Asia. It was first described by the French entomologist Maurice Pic in 1924 for a single species from China. It is similar to Abirus, and is distinguished by simple tarsal claws and thick femurs.[1]
