Abstract

Floral feeding in leaf beetles has been reported mainly for Aulacoscelinae, Donaciinae, Orsodacninae, Criocerinae, Megascelinae, Cryptocephalinae, Eumolpinae, Chrysomelinae, Galerucinae, and Alticinae (Jolivet, 1977, 1978, 1988, 1991; Nielsen, 1988; Schmitt, 1988, etc.), but the actual consumption of pollen in these insects has been rarely reported, though the mechanics of pollen digestion has been discussed by Mann & Crowson (1981) and Kuschel & May (1990).
