Pselektiini

Pselektiini is a tribe within the subfamily Chrysomelinae, which is part of the leaf beetle family Chrysomelidae. This tribe is characterized by its members' distinct morphological features, often including specific patterns on their elytra and antennae. While the Chrysomelinae subfamily is diverse, the Pselektiini tribe represents a specific lineage with shared evolutionary traits.

Species within Pselektiini are typically medium-sized beetles, and their diet primarily consists of plant matter, particularly the leaves of various host plants. The exact host plant associations can vary significantly between different genera and species within the tribe. Their life cycle, like other leaf beetles, involves egg, larval, and adult stages, with the larval stage often being the most damaging to vegetation due to their voracious feeding habits.

Geographically, Pselektiini are found in various parts of the world, with a notable presence in certain regions. The classification and understanding of Pselektiini have evolved over time with ongoing taxonomic research and molecular studies contributing to a clearer picture of their phylogenetic relationships. Research into this tribe often focuses on their ecology, behavior, and evolutionary history within the broader context of Chrysomelidae.
