***Percolaspis*** is a genus of [leaf beetles](/source/Leaf_beetle) in the subfamily [Eumolpinae](/source/Eumolpinae).[2] It is distributed in [South America](/source/South_America) and [Central America](/source/Central_America), though it has also been reported from southern [Florida](/source/Florida) in the [United States](/source/United_States). It is associated with the plant families [Rubiaceae](/source/Rubiaceae) and [Fabaceae](/source/Fabaceae) in Central America.[3]

In Brazil, *[Percolaspis ornata](/source/Percolaspis_ornata)* is an important pest of *[Theobroma cacao](/source/Theobroma_cacao)* (cocoa) in [Bahia](/source/Bahia) and [Espírito Santo](/source/Esp%C3%ADrito_Santo). A species identified as *Percolaspis* [cf.](/source/Cf.) *ornata* was also recently found feeding and damaging [soybean](/source/Soybean), [corn](/source/Corn) and [cotton](/source/Cotton) crops in [Mato Grosso](/source/Mato_Grosso), Brazil.[4]
