Rhyparidella
Genus of leaf beetles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rhyparidella is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in New Guinea, New Britain, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands.[1][2] It resembles the genus Rhyparida, but differs from it by having smaller eyes, lacking a "Y"-shaped suture on the frontoclypeus (a combined frons and clypeus, making up part of the face), generally having a small tooth on the underside of each femur on the legs, and being uniformly small-sized.[1][2]
