5A2BE025FFAEFFA44CAAF293FB8FCE99.taxon	type_taxon	Type Species. Lycaste trichoa Gistel, 1848. Etymology. The name is from Greek mythology: Eupetale was one of the nurses of Dionysus and a sister of Lycaste (Parada and Förlag 1997).	en	Flowers, R. Wills (2021): A New Genus for Two Orphaned Species of Lycaste Gistel (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Eumolpinae). The Coleopterists Bulletin 75 (3): 700-701, DOI: 10.1649/0010-065X-75.3.700, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1649/0010-065x-75.3.700
5A2BE025FFAEFFA44CAAF293FB8FCE99.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The large body size (> 10 mm), anterior margin of prosternum not excavated or raised, large submedian spurs on female sternum VII, and appen- diculate claws will separate this genus from other Neotropical Eumolpinae. Eupetale is most similar to Eumolpus Hope and Longeumolpus Springlová, two other large, blue eumolpine genera, but can be dis- tinguished by the unexcavated pronotum, appendic- ulate claws, and the abdominal spurs in the females. A full description and figures of Eupetale can be found in Flowers (2003; as Lycaste). As Gistel’s orig- inal specimen appears to be lost (M. Balke, Zoologische Staatssammlung München, in litt.), a neotype is here designated for the type species.	en	Flowers, R.

5A2BE025FFAEFFA44F56F493FC12CB68.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Females have the spurs on sternum VII slender and curved (Flowers 2003), the elytra have large raised costae on the basal calli, and the punctation on the apical half of the elytra forms separate geminate striae (see images of the holotype of P. metallica in MCZbase 2021).	en	Flowers, R.
