Phainodina
Genus of leaf beetles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phainodina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, that is distributed in New Guinea. It resembles the genera Rhyparida and Rhyparidella, but differs from the former by its lack of a "Y"-shaped suture on the frontoclypeus (a combined frons and clypeus, making up part of the face), and from the latter by having a larger tooth on the underside of each femur on the legs, having a more swollen prothorax that generally lacks punctures, and being generally quite convex and evenly rounded at the sides.[1] The name of the genus refers to the beetles being shiny and Nodina-shaped.[1]
