Monomacra bumeliae
Schaeffer, 1905
Monomacra bumeliae is a flea beetle in the leaf beetle Chrysomelidae, first described by Schaeffer in 1905. The species is known from Central America and North America. As a member of the flea beetle tribe Alticini, it possesses the enlarged hind characteristic of jumping beetles in this group. The specific epithet 'bumeliae' suggests an association with plants in the Sideroxylon (formerly Bumelia), though this relationship has not been confirmed in published literature.
