Notes.

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