Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Chrysomelidae
Name
Luperomorpha Weise, 1887 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
References
Weise 1887[1]: 202; 1915: 179; Bechyné 1959a[2]: 1; Doguet 1979[3]: 308; Biondi and D’Alessandro 2010a[4]: 409; Döberl 2012[5]: 439.
Type species
Luperomorpha trivialis Weise, 1887: 204 (Siberia: Raddefka; Chingan), by original designation.
Distribution
Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia (!) [Oromia region (BAQ)],Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia, Socotra Island (Yemen) and the Australian, Eastern Palaearctic and Oriental regions (Fig. 333).
Ecology
Polyphagous (cf. Jolivet and Hawkeswood 1995[6]). There is no ecological information on this genus for the Afrotropical region. Luperomorpha biondii Döberl (2012: 439) was collected in Socotra on Cephalocroton socotranus (Euphorbiaceae).
Notes
Two species have been described for the Afrotropical region: Luperomorpha vittula (Weise, 1915) [described as Jamesonia Jacoby but then transferred to Luperomorpha by Bechyné (1959a)[2]] and Luperomorpha biondii Döberl. Concerning the presence of this genus in the Afrotropical region, we refer to the comments reported for Gabonia Jacoby.
