***Colaspina*** is a genus of [leaf beetles](/source/Leaf_beetle) in the subfamily [Eumolpinae](/source/Eumolpinae). It contains only one species, ***Colaspina saportae***, known from [Spain](/source/Spain) and southern [France](/source/France) ([Provence](/source/Provence)). The species was first described from [Aix-en-Provence](/source/Aix-en-Provence) in 1863 by [Auguste Jean François Grenier](/source/Auguste_Jean_Fran%C3%A7ois_Grenier), who dedicated it to the [Marquess of Saporta](/source/Gaston_de_Saporta). It has recently been suggested that *Colaspina* is possibly a sister genus to both *[Chalcosicya](/source/Chalcosicya)* and Mediterranean *[Colaspidea](/source/Colaspidea)* combined.[3]
