Endroedymolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.[2] It is endemic to the Western Cape province of South Africa, its range spanning from Cape Town north to the border with Namibia, and is probably restricted to a fynbos environment. The genus is named in memory of Dr. Sebastian Endrödy-Younga, who collected a large number of the specimens of the genus. It belongs to the tribe Adoxini and is related to the genus Macetes.[1]
