Coleothorpa is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. The group is largely composed of species that were originally placed in the genus Euryscopa; some authorities have suggested placing these species into the genus CoscinopteraAgrain, F. A., and S. Roig-Juñent (2011) Systematics and cladistics of Megalostomis Chevrolat, and the biogeography of Clytrini (Coleoptera: Cryptocephalinae). Systematic Entomol. 36: 672–704 but the most recent revisions prefer to retain it as a separate genus.Uriel Jeshua Sánchez-Reyes, Santiago Niño-Maldonado, Shawn M.
