Fulcidacini

The Fulcidacini are a tribe within the leaf beetle subfamily Cryptocephalinae,[1] though historically they were often treated as a distinct subfamily, Chlamisinae. 11 genera with altogether about 400 species are currently placed here; some four-fifths of the species are found in the Neotropics, but the rest is distributed over all other continents except Antarctica.[2]
