Notes
Three species are known. Crepidodera betiokyensis Bechyné (1954a: 46) from Madagascar, erroneously attributed to this genus by Bechyné (1964[4]: 152), was placed in Afrorestia Bechyné (cf. Scherer 1962b[5]: 57; Biondi and D’Alessandro 2010a[3]: 403).However, it is here confirmed that this genus does occur in Madagascar.
