Rhyparidella is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in New Guinea, New Britain, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. It resembles the genus Rhyparida, but differs from it by having smaller eyes, lacking a "Y"-shaped suture on the frontoclypeus (a combined frons and clypeus, making up part of the face), generally having a small tooth on the underside of each femur on the legs, and being uniformly small-sized.
