Clytrini Cryptocephalini Fulcidacini Mylassini Pachybrachini The Cryptocephalinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), and belong to the group of case-bearing leaf beetles called the Camptosomata.
The cases are made from the feces of larvae, passed from one instar to the next, and ultimately serves as a pupation chamber.
[2] The most recently created tribe Mylassini was erected in 2021 for the monotypic genus Mylassa.
[3] Species in at least 14 genera of Clytrini and Cryptocephalini are myrmecophilous, living with ants.
[4] Most species exhibit polyphagy but there are patterns of constraints with certain plant lineages.
