'''''Lobispa''''' is a genus of [leaf beetle](/source/leaf_beetle)s consisting of three species from [Central America](/source/Central_America) and northern [South America](/source/South_America). It is classified within the tribe [Cubispini](/source/Cubispini), which is placed within the subfamily [Eumolpinae](/source/Eumolpinae). The genus superficially resembles the subfamily Hispinae (now included in [Cassidinae](/source/Cassidinae)).<ref name="Staines2001"/>

The genus name comes from ''lobus'' ([Greek](/source/Greek_language) for "an elongated projection") plus ''-ispa'' from the subfamily name Hispinae.
