Tribe Epilachnini Mulsant, 1846

Recently, the classification of Epilachnini has changed significantly( Szawaryn et al. 2015; Tomaszewska& Szawaryn 2016). Most of the South American fauna is divided into two genera, Epilachna Chevrolat, 1836 and Toxotoma Weise, 1900 . According to most recent molecular investigations, a large part of the species assigned to Epilachna should be moved to Toxotoma ; however, only a part of the species groups proposed by Gordon (1975) were studied with molecular analyses. Thus, here we transfer species into Toxotoma from the previously studied species groups as listed in Szawaryn et al. (2015), the rest remains in Epilachna .
