***Keeta*** is a genus of [leaf beetles](/source/Leaf_beetle) in the subfamily [Eumolpinae](/source/Eumolpinae).[2][3] It contains two species endemic to the [Aldabra](/source/Aldabra) atoll in the [Seychelles](/source/Seychelles). The genus and both species were described by the Indian entomologist [Samarendra Maulik](/source/Samarendra_Maulik), from specimens collected by the [Percy Sladen Trust Expedition](/source/Percy_Sladen_Trust_Expedition) to the Indian Ocean in 1908. The generic name comes from the [Sanskrit](/source/Sanskrit) word कीट (*kīṭa*), meaning "insect".[1]
