Cubispini


Cubispini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It was established by Francisco Monrós in 1954 to contain the genus Cubispa, which was formerly placed in the subfamily Hispinae, in the tribe Cephaloleini. A second genus, Lobispa, was described and placed in the tribe by C.L. Staines in 2001.
According to Borowiec & Świętojańska, the placement of the tribe Cubispini and the genus Cubispa is still uncertain, and they prefer to exclude Cubispa from Eumolpinae and retain it in Cassidinae.
