Montrouzierella is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.[2] It is known from the South Province and Mont Panié of New Caledonia, and is named after Xavier Montrouzier, the pioneer entomologist of New Caledonia.[1] The genus was established based on general proportions and body size, and may be polyphyletic or paraphyletic.[3]
