Atomyria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Central Asia and Iran.[2][3] In 2012, the genus was moved from the tribe Bromiini to the tribe Nodinini (now known as Typophorini).[4] In 2020, the genus was revised by A. G. Moseyko, who described a new species and transferred two species to Chloropterus, leaving only two valid species remaining within Atomyria.[3]
Members of the genus inhabit tugai forests.[4] The known distribution of Atomyria also corresponds very closely with the distribution of the desert shrub genus Tamarix.[5]
Species[edit]
Atomyria includes only two valid species:[3]
- Atomyria kermanshahica Moseyko, 2020 – Iran (Kermanshah Province)
- Atomyria sarafschanica (Solsky, 1881) – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan
The following species were formerly included, but have since been transferred to the genus Chloropterus.[3]
