Graphops

Graphops is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 19 described species in Graphops, all from North America. Most species have limited flight capabilities, due to poorly developed wings, and at least one species is known to be flightless.

According to BugGuide and ITIS, the genus is now placed in the tribe Typophorini instead of Adoxini.
