Cassidini
The Cassidini are a tribe within the leaf beetle subfamily Cassidinae. The Cassidini comprises approximately 40 genera worldwide, and is one of the largest tribes in the subfamily, containing most of the genera and species known collectively as "tortoise beetles". The subfamily names Cassidinae and Hispinae were both founded by Gyllenhal in the same 1813 book, but following the Principle of the First Reviser, Chen in this case,[1] priority is given to the name Cassidinae.[2]

gollark: *suspects that this has been overcomplicated*
gollark: <@509984943833874432> But it's not JS doing that. It's the React developers.
gollark: Not really. It's the fault of the react devs too.
gollark: They tried to make them LOOK like just regular function calls or whatever, but they have special constraints and are, well, magic.
