'''''Spintherophyta''''' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Most species in the genus are found in Central and South America, but there are also a few North American species.<ref name="Schultz1976">{{cite journal|first=William T.|last=Schultz|year=1976|title=Review of the Genus ''Spintherophyta'' (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in North America North of Mexico|journal=Annals of the Entomological Society of America|volume=69|issue=5|pages=877–881|doi=10.1093/aesa/69.5.877}}</ref>
