***Colaspis pini***, the **pine colaspis**, is a species of [leaf beetle](/source/Leaf_beetle) from [North America](/source/North_America).[2][3][4][5] It is known to feed on [pines](/source/Pine) in the southern [United States](/source/United_States), and is an occasional pest of Christmas trees.[5] It was first described by the American entomologist [Herbert Spencer Barber](/source/Herbert_Spencer_Barber) in 1937.
