Doryphora is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. It includes nine species from Central and South America.[1]

Biology

Doryphora beetles live and feed on vines of family Apocynaceae.[2]

Doryphora reproduce during the transition from the dry to the wet season. Some species are subsocial, with adult females guarding their eggs and larvae from predation.[2]

The genus includes the following species:[3][4][5]

Doryphora bioleyi (Achard)
Doryphora centrumpunctata Achard, 1925
Doryphora paykulli (Stål, 1859)
Doryphora punctatissima (Olivier, 1790)
Doryphora reticulata (Fabricius, 1787)
