Key to the Spilopyrinae of NSW

The Spilopyrinae are a small subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. They occur in Australia, New Guinea, New Caledonia and Chile.[2] They were formerly considered a tribe of the subfamily Eumolpinae. The group was elevated to subfamily rank by C. A. M. Reid in 2000.[3] However, some authors have criticised this placement, preferring to retain them within the Eumolpinae.[4]
