Phainodina
Phainodina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, that is distributed in New Guinea. It resembles the genera Rhyparida and Rhyparidella, but differs from the former by its lack of a "Y"-shaped suture on the frontoclypeus, and from the latter by having a larger tooth on the underside of each femur on the legs, having a more swollen prothorax that generally lacks punctures, and being generally quite convex and evenly rounded at the sides. The name of the genus refers to the beetles being shiny and Nodina-shaped.
