Case-bearing Leaf Beetles
Cryptocephalinae
The Cryptocephalinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), and belong to the group of case-bearing leaf beetles called the Camptosomata. The cases are made from the feces of larvae, passed from one instar to the next, and ultimately serves as a pupation chamber.
The tribes Fulcidacini and Clytrini were formerly considered subfamilies of their own, and are presently treated only as tribes.
