Promecotheca

Promecotheca is a genus of Asian leaf beetles, typical of the tribe Promecothecini in the subfamily Cassidinae; it was erected by Émile Blanchard in 1853.

Species are especially well represented in New Guinea and the Pacific islands; some are minor coconut pests including: Promecotheca cumingii, P. papuana ("coconut leaf miners") and P. opacicollis: the New Hebrides coconut hispid.
