Notes.
This genus, with about ten species known to occur in Madagascar, was transferred from the subfamily Galerucinae to the Alticinae (currently the tribe Alticini ) by Biondi and D’Alessandro (2010a). The reason being the presence of a metafemoral spring, very similar to that described for the Oriental genus Mandarella Duvivier (1892b: 433) (cf. Furth and Suzuki 1994).
