Luperus viridipennis is a species of skeletonizing leaf beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Galerucinae.

[1][2][3] This species is mainly present in most of Europe (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland and Ukraine)[4][5] and in Central Asia.

These montane beetles occur in the Alps, Carpathians, Balkans, South Urals and in mountains of Central Asia, [6] at an elevation of 1,350–1,600 metres (4,430–5,250 ft) above sea level.

The first antennal sections and the legs are partly reddish, while the base of femurs and tarsi are brownish.

[7] This polyphagous species parasites various deciduous trees, but lives mainly on alder (mainly on Alnus viridis) and damages their leaves.
