Rhabdopterus

Rhabdopterus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are about 70 described species in Rhabdopterus from North and South America, eight of which are found north of Mexico.[2][3][4][5] The Nearctic species may not be congeneric with the type species, which is South American.[5]
