Meristata is a genus of Asian leaf beetles in the subfamily Galerucinae. Most of the species in the genus are found along the Himalayas in the China and the Indian Subcontinent.[2]
Species in the genus include:[3][1]
- Meristata dohrnii (Baly, 1861)
- Meristata elongata (Jacoby, 1898)
- Meristata fallax (Harold, 1880)
- Meristata fraternalis (Baly, 1879)
- Meristata pulunini (Bryant, 1952)
- Meristata quadrifasciata (Hope, 1831)
- Meristata sexmaculata (Kollar & Redtenbacher, 1844)
- Meristata spilota (Hope, 1831) (synonym: Meristata trifasciata (Hope, 1831))
The species Meristata jayarami (Vazirani, 1970) was moved to the genus Leptarthra,[4] and the species Meristata maculata (Bryant, 1954) was moved to the genus Paraspitiella.[5]
