Cleorina

Cleorina is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in South, East and Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia.

Cleorina modiglianii, a species found in Sumatra, was considered as a potential biological control agent for the giant bramble (Rubus alceifolius), an invasive plant species in La Réunion, but was rejected after testing its host specificity.
