The '''Mesomphaliini''' are a tribe of tortoise beetles erected by Frederick William Hope in 1840;<ref>Hope FW (1841 "1840").

Species are mostly found in the Americas, especially the Neotropical realm, but some may occur elsewhere: for example, ''Chelymorpha'' and ''Stolas'' have representatives in Europe, with ''Cyrtonota'' in Japan.
