Notes on generic synonymy. Based on the study of various specimens, including type specimens of the type species, we conclude that Taizonia and Amphimeloides are junior synonyms of Ivalia. They share the following character extremely rare among flea beetles: metasternum is expanded anteriorly, becoming vertical and covering mesosternum (Fig. 5 A) so the latter also becomes vertical and sometimes invisible in ventral view. This character is shared by the types of all the type species, but varies slightly among other studied species of Ivalia. In its most developed state, the character is known to occur only in Clavicornaltica Scherer (Konstantinov & Duckett 2005), also a humicole feeder but easily distinguishable from Ivalia by its clavate antennae and other features. Other uncommon characters occuring in Ivalia and some other Oriental genera include the following: a. Metatibia curved in dorsal view with long metatibial spur (Figs 1, 3 E, F), first metatarsomere as long as or longer than two following tarsomeres combined (Figs 2 D, 3 F); b. Labrum deeply emarginated (Fig. 3 A); c. Thoracic sternites with elevated processes; d. Head with frontal ridge wide and swollen together with anterofrontal ridge in one callosity (see Figs 2 C, E, 3 A–B); e. Antennal calli poorly separated from vertex and from each other, sometimes not separated at all (Figs 2 C, E, and 3 A); f. Anterolateral callosity of pronotum very long, commonly reaching midpoint of lateral margin of pronotum (Figs 1, 2); g. Vaginal palpi of female genitalia relatively short with proximal ends fused (Fig. 4 E). Overall there are no characters to separate Ivalia, Amphimeloides, and Taizonia. As Ivalia is senior to Taizonia, Ivalia remains valid and because Amphimeloides and Ivalia were published in the same paper, we here choose Ivalia as the name to use. Diagnostic characters of Ivalia. Adult beetles small to medium sized (2–5mm), convex in lateral view. Color metallic or nonmetallic dark or light shades with spots or stripes. Antennal calli poorly to moderately developed, flat to slightly raised, anterior ends somewhat triangular, entering into interantennal space, sulci surrounding antennal calli poorly developed. Eyes small, lateral, orbit narrow, antennal sockets separated by a distance subequal to two times width of orbit or more. Frontal ridge short, wide, flat to moderately raised; anterofrontal ridge wide, flat to moderately raised. Antenna hardly reaching middle of elytron, distal antennomeres widened. Labrum deeply incised. Maxillary palp long, second and third palpomeres moderately thick, distally enlarged, last pointed. Pronotum transverse, without impressions, anterior coxal cavities open behind. Elytron with irregular punctures, posteriorly narrowed; epipleuron wide, horizontal, reaching near apex. Hind wing present or absent. Thoracic sternites with raised process in middle: prosternal intercoxal process with longitudinal vertically raised ridge along middle, process on metasternum usually circular. Metacoxa greatly enlarged, ventrally with a groove and ridge for reception of femur. Metatibia in dorsal view characteristically curved with either ends directed laterally; dorsal surface with sharp lateral margin and flat mesal margin. Tarsal claw appendiculate.

Ivalia Jacoby 1887
No full textIVALIA JACOBY, 1887 (FIG. 4) Type species: Ivalia viridipennis Jacoby, 1887, designated by Maulik (1926). Synonyms: Ancyloscelis Ogloblin, 1930, synonymized by Scherer (1969); Amphimeloides Jacoby, 1887, synonymized by Duckett et al. (2006); Taizonia Chen, 1934, synonymized by Duckett et al. (2006); Schereria Medvedev, 1984, synonymized by Gruev & Askevold, (1988). Phylogenetic position: The genus belongs to the Chabria group, based on both our analyses and DamaŠka et al. (2021); the latter study revealed polyphyly of the genus, therefore, the genus will require revision. Diversity and distribution: There are 86 known species of Ivalia; most species were catalogued by Nadein (2013a) listing 67 species.An additional two species were described by Medvedev (2016) and a further species by Takizawa & Konstantinov (2018). New species from the Philippines were described by DamaŠka et al. (2020) and from Japan by Takemoto & Suenaga (2021). The genus is distributed from India and the Himalayas to central China, Japan and southwards to Australia. Most species are described from high mountain ranges (Himalayas, Mt. Kinabalu and New Guinea). Revisions: The genus has not been revised recently. Duckett et al. (2006) redescribed the genus, described its larva and established new synonyms; fauna of Australia was revised by Nadein (2013a). Synoptic keys were presented by Medvedev (2009) for Indochina and Yang et al. (2015) for China and Taiwan. Morphological characteristics: The morphological features diagnosing Ivalia were proposed by Duckett et al. (2006) and should possibly be revised based on DamaŠka et al. (2021). The genus consists mainly of small to large flea beetles (1.5–5.0 mm). General body shape oval to rounded, convex in lateral view. Body colour from black, with or without metallic lustre, to yellow basic colour and variable pattern or dark elytral and pronotal spots. The majority of species are wingless. Head nearly hypognathous, antennal shape from long and slender to relatively short, with distal antennomeres somewhat widened, frontal calli poorly developed (Nadein, 2013a; Takizawa & Konstantinov, 2018). Pronotum usually about twice as wide as long, convex, on apical margins sometimes with rounded lobes visible anterolaterally. Pronotal margin with a setiferous pore situated in the apical half of the pronotal length. Procoxal cavities widely open posteriorly.The anterior process of the metaventrite expanding between the mesocoxae partially covering the mesoventrite, similar to that of Clavicornaltica and Cangshanaltica. Metaventral intercoxal process surface excavated, forming a horseshoe-shaped structure (as in Cangshanaltica). Metafemora strongly curved in many species, some described species bearing straight metafemora (Takizawa & Konstantinov, 2018). Metatibiae with a long apical spur, proximal metatarsomere elongated. Vaginal palpi fused basally, with apices widely separated. Spermatheca simply formed, with duct not bearing coils. Aedeagus usually simple with long, wide and flat apex. Ecology: In most species the ecology is not known, but all species with known biology are associated with mosses and known larvae feed on mosses (Duckett et al., 2006; Takizawa & Konstantinov, 2018; Takemoto & Suenaga, 2021). The majority of known species are described from high elevations up to 3500 m, but mid-elevation and lowland species are known as well (DamaŠka & Aston, 2019; Takemoto & Suenaga, 2021). Remarks: Diagnoses from Clavicornaltica and Cangshanaltica were mentioned above. Ivalia is also similar to Phaelota Jacoby, 1887, from which it can be distinguished by the morphology of procoxal cavities, closed posteriorly in Phaelota, open in Ivalia (Konstantinov et al., 2013).Published as part of Damaška, Albert František, Konstantinov, Alexander & Fikáček, Martin, 2022, Multiple origins of moss-inhabiting flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae): molecular phylogeny, overview of genera and a new genus from Africa, pp. 647-676 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 196 on page 663, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab112, http://zenodo.org/record/719624

Phaelota Jacoby 1887
No full textPHAELOTA JACOBY, 1887 (FIG. 4) Type species: Phaelota semifasciata Jacoby, 1887. Synonymy: This genus has no generic synonyms. Phylogenetic position: Unknown. A possible placement in the Chabria group has been discussed, but no molecular or morphological phylogenetic analysis has been published to justify this. Diversity and distribution: So far, 16 species of Phaelota are known (Ruan et al., 2017). The genus is found mainly in India and Sri Lanka. One species was described from Borneo (Konstantinov, 2008). Revisions: The fauna of southern India and Sri Lanka was recently revised by Prathapan & Viraktamath (2009). Morphological characteristics: Body large, 2.5 to 5.5 mm long, oval to round in dorsal view, moderately convex in lateral view, colour variable. Head hypognathous, partially retracted into prothorax. Antennal calli well developed, triangular, separated from vertex and from each other by deep impressions. Frontal ridge wide and flat. Antennae with 11 antennomeres, not widened or forming any apical club. Pronotum wide, with a feebly developed a n t e b a s a l t r a n s v e r s e i m p r e s s i o n, s u r r o u n d e d by two short longitudinal impressions. Procoxal cavities closed posteriorly; in Phaelota sindhoori Prathapan & Viraktamath, 2004, procoxal cavities narrowly open. The intercoxal proventral process wide. Elytra narrowing towards apex, with rows of slightly developed punctures. Legs long; all coxae with a triangular posterior denticle. Aedeagus simple, slightly curved in lateral view. Spermatheca simple, with a long pump and bulbous receptacle; spermathecal duct without coils. Vaginal palpi fused basally, and parallel. Ecology: The genus contains both moss-inhabiting and leaf-surface-living species (Konstantinov et al., 2013; Ruan et al., 2017). Prathapan & Viraktamath (2009) report that at least three leaf-surface-living Indian species feed on ferns. It is likely that various species from the genus feed on various food sources; however, the ecology of Phaelota needs more research to be resolved. Remarks: The genus is similar to Chabria and Acrocrypta Baly, 1862. It can be separated from Chabria, by having closed procoxal cavities (procoxal cavities are open in Chabria). From Acrocrypta, the genus differs by having a wide intercoxal proventral process and elytral punctures in rows (in Acrocrypta, the intercoxal proventral process is narrow and elytra are confusedly punctured).Published as part of Damaška, Albert František, Konstantinov, Alexander & Fikáček, Martin, 2022, Multiple origins of moss-inhabiting flea beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae): molecular phylogeny, overview of genera and a new genus from Africa, pp. 647-676 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 196 on pages 668-669, DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlab112, http://zenodo.org/record/719624
