Thysbina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.[2] It is found in Africa. It was first established by the German entomologist Julius Weise in 1902, for several species from Colasposoma as well as three new species. According to Louis Jules Léon Burgeon in 1941, Thysbina is actually a synonym of Colasposoma,[3] though this proposed synonymy has been ignored in later works.[4]
