***Colaspis*** is a genus of [leaf beetles](/source/Leaf_beetle) in the subfamily [Eumolpinae](/source/Eumolpinae). It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily, containing over 200 species,[3] and it is known from both [North](/source/North_America) and [South America](/source/South_America). A number of species from this genus are considered to be [pests](/source/Pest_(organism)), such as the grape colaspis (*[Colaspis brunnea](/source/Colaspis_brunnea)*). Some species are known from the fossil record from the [Eocene](/source/Eocene) of [Colorado](/source/Colorado) in the [United States](/source/United_States).

## Taxonomy

In some publications for the [Neotropical realm](/source/Neotropical_realm), *Colaspis* is also known as ***Maecolaspis***. This alternative name was created by the Czech entomologist [Jan Bechyné](/source/Jan_Bechyn%C3%A9) in 1950, due to an error relating to the type species of *Colaspis*: Bechyné incorrectly considered *Colaspis testacea* to be the type species of *Colaspis*, rather than *Chrysomela flavicornis*. As a result, *[Metaxyonycha](/source/Metaxyonycha)*, which shared the same type species, was synonymised with *Colaspis*. The species of *Colaspis* listed in the *Coleopterorum Catalogus* (a beetle catalog edited by [Wilhelm Junk](/source/Wilhelm_Junk) and [Sigmund Schenkling](/source/Sigmund_Schenkling)) were then placed under Bechyné's new name, "*Maecolaspis*", with *Chrysomela flavicornis* as the type species.[2] These errors were corrected by W. J. Brown in 1961, who synonymized *Maecolaspis* with *Colaspis*.[4] Despite this, Bechyné continued to use *Maecolaspis* as valid, while [Doris Holmes Blake](/source/Doris_Holmes_Blake) published several papers on *Colaspis* without mentioning Bechyné's *Maecolaspis*. This effectively created two systems for the taxonomy of the Neotropical leaf beetles, which has frequently confused those studying the Neotropical Eumolpinae.[5]

Many species originally placed in *Colaspis* were split by Bechyné into several smaller genera, such as *[Allocolaspis](/source/Allocolaspis)*, *[Callicolaspis](/source/Callicolaspis)*, *[Percolaspis](/source/Percolaspis)*, *[Nodocolaspis](/source/Nodocolaspis)* and *[Zenocolaspis](/source/Zenocolaspis)*. The genus requires further subdivision.[6]
