Doryphora is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. It includes nine species from Central and South America.[1]
Biology[edit]
Doryphora beetles live and feed on vines of family Apocynaceae.[2]
Doryphora reproduce during the transition from the dry to the wet season. Some species are subsocial, with adult females guarding their eggs and larvae from predation.[2]
