Pseudoluperus is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae.White, Richard E. (1968). A Review of the Genus Cryptocephalus in America North of Mexico. Smithsonian Institution Press.Nie R-E, Bezděk J, Yang X-K (2017). "How many genera and species of Galerucinae s. str. do we know? Updated statistics (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae). In: Chaboo CS, Schmitt M (Eds) Research on Chrysomelidae 7". ZooKeys 720: 91-102. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species, Pseudoluperus longulus, which is found in North America.
Taxonomy In the catalogue of Wilcox (1973), Pseudoluperus constituted a heterogeneous assemblage of all sorts of Scelidites (and even a species from another section). Subsequent to that catalogue, Andrews & Gilbert (2005) added one more species to the genus, transferring Luperodes histrio from the genus Keitheatus. Species formerly included in Pseudoluperus have been transferred to the following genera: Microscelida, Scelolyperus, Synetocephalus, Amplioluperus, Cornuventer, Geethaluperus, Mexiluperus, Monoaster, Texiluperus and Trichobrotica. Furthermore, Pseudoluperus bakeri and P. decipiens have been reduced to synonyms of P. longulus, making Pseudoluperus monotypic.Part of this text is from “New World genera of Galerucinae Latreille, 1802 (tribes Galerucini Latreille, 1802, Metacyclini Chapuis, 1875, and Luperini Gistel, 1848): an annotated list and identification key (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)” by Keezhpattillam Viswajyothi, Shwan M.
