'''''Cazeresia''''' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae that is endemic to New Caledonia.<ref name=PlataniaGomezZurita2023/> After recent revision, it now contains several species, many only recently described.<ref name=GomezZuritaCardoso2025/> It previously contained only one species, ''Cazeresia montana'', found at 1,450 m and above on Mount Humboldt in the South Province of New Caledonia. Adults of ''C. montana'' were found on ''Dracophyllum involucratum'', a species of plant in the family Epacridaceae. According to Jolivet ''et al.'' (2005), most probably the larvae feed on the roots of this plant.
==Etymology== The genus is named after Sylvie Cazères, an assistant to the Pocquereux entomological group from the Institut Agronomique néo-Calédonien. Sylvie Cazères collected specimens of ''C. montana'' and other species of leaf beetles.<ref name="Jolivet2005"/>
