Suprageneric systematics of flea beetles (Chrysomelidae: Alticinae) inferred from multilocus sequence data

► Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial (rrnL, coxI) and nuclear (SSU, LSU) genes. ► A sequence-based taxonomic classification of Alticinae to define 18 groups of genera. ► Five groups of genera bearing metafemoral springs transferred to Galerucinae. ► Groups of genera diagnosable by unique combinations of morphological traits.
