Taxonomy
Chrysomela is traditionally broken up into three subgenera, Chrysomela, Macrolina (or Strickerus) and Pachylina.[6][7] In 1998, researchers Maurizio Biondi and Mauro Daccordi proposed a new classification of Chryomela without any subgenera.[8] This was followed by the sixth volume of the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera.[2]
