Luperodes

***Luperodes*** er en slekt av biller som tilhører familiegruppen bladbiller (Chrysomelidae). Det er kjent 77 arter.

## Utseende
Små til middelsstore, avlange, blanke, gulbrune til svarte bladbiller med lange, tynne, trådformede antenner, hos denne slekten er de ofte lenger enn kroppen. Pronotum er tydelig smalere enn dekkvingene og adskilt fra disse (danner ikke en kontinuerlig kurve). Slekten varierer ganske mye i farger og kroppsform, men er sjelden metallisk fargede. Et karakteristisk trekk er at skallet (eksoskjelettet) hos denne slekten er forholdsvis tynt og mykt.

## 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.

## Utbredelse
Slekten forekommer i Afrika, Asia, Australia og også i Sør-Amerika.
