Chrysodinopsis

Chrysodinopsis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It was first described by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in 1950. There are two described species in Chrysodinopsis.[3][4][5][6] Both species are found in Mexico, though C. basalis is also found in southern Arizona in the United States. The genus is possibly synonymous with Brachypnoea.[6]
