Pseudoluperus
Pseudoluperus is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species, Pseudoluperus longulus, which is found in North America.
Taxonomy
In the catalogue of Wilcox, Pseudoluperus constituted a heterogeneous assemblage of all sorts of Scelidites. Subsequent to that catalogue, Andrews & Gilbert added one more species to the genus, transferring Luperodes histrio from the genus Keitheatus. Species formerly included in Pseudoluperus have been transferred to the following genera: Microscelida, Scelolyperus, Synetocephalus, Amplioluperus, Cornuventer, Geethaluperus, Mexiluperus, Monoaster, Texiluperus and Trichobrotica. Furthermore, Pseudoluperus bakeri and P. decipiens have been reduced to synonyms of P. longulus, making Pseudoluperus monotypic.
