The cosmopolitan flea beetle genera and (Galerucinae, Alticini) are mainly associated with host plants in the family Brassicaceae and include economically important pests of crucifer crops. In this review, the host plant associations and geographical distributions of known species in these genera are summarised from the literature, and their proposed phylogenetic relationships to other Alticini analysed from published molecular phylogenetic studies of Galerucinae. Almost all species are specialised on Brassicaceae and related plant families in the order Brassicales, whereas species are associated with host plants in approximately 24 different plant families, and 50% are specialised to feed on Brassicaceae. The current knowledge on how and are adapted to the characteristic chemical defence in Brassicaceae is reviewed. Based on our findings we postulate that and colonised Brassicaceae independently from each other.
世界性的跳甲属和（叶甲亚科，跳甲族）主要与十字花科的寄主植物相关联，并且包括十字花科作物的重要经济害虫。在本综述中，从文献中总结了这些属中已知物种的寄主植物关联和地理分布，并根据已发表的叶甲亚科分子系统发育研究分析了它们与其他跳甲族拟议的系统发育关系。几乎所有物种都专食十字花科以及十字花目相关的植物科，而物种与大约24个不同植物科的寄主植物相关联，并且50%专食十字花科。综述了关于和如何适应十字花科特征性化学防御的现有知识。基于我们的发现，我们推测和是彼此独立地定殖于十字花科的。
