Typophorus Explained

Typophorus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are at least 52 described species in Typophorus.^{[1] [2]} Similar genera include Paria and Tijucana. Typophorus itself is probably polyphyletic.^[3]

Two subspecies of Typophorus nigritus, T. nigritus nitidulus and T. nigritus viridicyaneus, are known as pests of sweet potatoes.^[4]
