Seeno & Wilcox (1982) list 56 genera of Eumolpinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) as occurring in Central America. As part of an ongoing project on the Eumolpinae of Costa Rica, I have found that eight of these generic records are probably incorrect since they are based on species that have been transferred to other genera or are based on very doubtful records. Since study and identification of Central American Eumolpinae is difficult enough without worrying about genera that do not in fact occur there, I feel it worth while to review these questionable records.
