Glyptosceloides

Glyptosceloides is a genus of leaf beetle situated in the Chrysomelid subfamily Eumolpinae, found in Chile. It contains only one species, Glyptosceloides dentatus. The generic name comes from the genus Glyptoscelis, referring to how Glyptosceloides dentatus resembles Glyptoscelis pulvinosus. The specific name refers to the broad tooth present on the profemora (the femora of the front legs). The males have enlarged mandibles and a larger head.[1]
