See text Colaspoides is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.

It is one of the largest genera in the subfamily, containing over 260 species worldwide.

[6] It is an extant genus but there is at least one species, C. eocenicus, found in Baltic amber from the Upper Eocene of Russia,[7] and the genus has also been reported from the Miocene of the Dominican Republic.

[1] The Neotropical species of Colaspoides, including the type species, lack elytra-locking grooves on the pygidium, unlike in the Asian species and in similar-looking Neotropical Eumolpinae genera such as Beltia.

According to Flowers (2018), this suggests that the Asian species of Colaspoides should be transferred to different genera.
