Paropsina
Paropsina is a subtribe of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae: Chrysomelinae) whose members are specialized herbivores of Eucalyptus. Several species have become invasive pests outside Australia, notably Paropsis charybdis in New Zealand. The subtribe is distinguished by obligate association with eucalypt foliage and external leaf-feeding larval behavior.
