Diabrotica

***Diabrotica*** er en artsrik slekt av biller som tilhører familiegruppen bladbiller (Chrysomelidae). Det er kjent 370 arter.

## Utseende
Middelsstore (4–9 millimeter), ovale, blanke bladbiller, ganske variable i fargen, gulaktige eller lyst grønnlige til svarte, gjerne med svarte tegninger, oversiden ikke påfallende punktert og uten synlige hår. Pronotum er avrundet firkantet, mye smalere enn dekkvingene, som er noe utvidet bakover. Beina er tynne, middels lange, gule til svarte.

## Levevis
Både larvene og de voksne (imago) er planteetere, ofte på busker og trær. Noen av artene kan opptre i store mengder og snauspise vertsplantene i enkelte år. De voksne billene flyr godt og kan forflytte seg over betydelige avstander. Noen av artene er alvorlige skadedyr på mais.

## Utbredelse
Slekten er utbredt i Amerika. *Diabrotica virgifera* har blitt innført til Europa  der den først ble registrert i Serbia i 1992, den antas å ha blitt innført med amerikanske troppetransporter under krigene i Jugoslavia på 1990-tallet. Den har senere spredt seg til store deler av Sør- og Mellom-Europa.
