Aspidimorphini
Tribe of leaf beetles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aspidimorphini is a tribe of leaf beetles within the subfamily Cassidinae.[1] Aspidimorphini is closely related to the tribe Cassidini. In a 2017 cladistic analysis of Cassidini based on morphological characters, Aspidimorphini was found to be nested within Cassidini, leading the authors of the study to formally synonymize the former with the latter.[2]
