Coleorozena Explained

Coleorozena is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. The group is largely composed of species that were originally placed in the genus Coscinoptera; some authorities have suggested placing these species back into Coscinoptera^[1] but the most recent revisions prefer to retain it as a separate genus.^[2]
