THE AMERICAN SPECIES OF PHYTODECTA KBY. (COLEOPTERA, CHRYSOMELIDAE)*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
Phytodecta Kby. is represented in the Western Hemisphere by four or five species which occur in Canada and in northern United States. The species are poorly represented in collections, and they have been confused with European species by most authors. They have been reviewed by Schaeffer (1924, Jour. New York Ent. Soc., XXXII, 138-140), but because the antennal and color characters used by Schaeffer fail and because the food plant records are incorrect, another synopsis seems desirable.

† All of the European species of Phytodecta except norvegica Strand and intermedia Hellisen are represented in our collection. In my opinion, the aedeagus figured as that of flavicornis (Suffr.) by Weise (1886, Deutsche Ent. Zeit., pl. 1: fig. 40) is that of kaufmanni Mill.
