Eumolpopsis
Genus of leaf beetles from Africa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eumolpopsis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.[4] It contains only one species, Eumolpopsis dimidiatus, found in Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[5] The species was first described by Martin Jacoby in 1893, who named it Pseudeumolpus dimidiatus.[2] However, Pseudeumolpus was found to be preoccupied, so the genus was renamed to Eumolpopsis by Jacoby in 1894.[1]
