The Fulcidacini, sometimes known as the warty leaf beetles, are a tribe within the leaf beetlesubfamilyCryptocephalinae, though historically they were often treated as a distinct subfamily, Chlamisinae. 11 genera with altogether about 400 species are currently placed here; some four-fifths of the species are found in the Neotropics, but the rest is distributed over all other continents except Antarctica.
