Luperus viridipennis is a species of skeletonizing leaf beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Galerucinae.[1][2][3]
This species is mainly present in most of Europe (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland and Ukraine)[4][5] and in Central Asia.
These montane beetles occur in the Alps, Carpathians, Balkans, South Urals and in mountains of Central Asia,[6] at an elevation of 1,350–1,600 metres (4,430–5,250 ft) above sea level.[7]
