The faunal composition, host relationships and biological information of the subfamily   Cassidinae   (  Coleoptera  ,   Chrysomelidae  ) remain poorly known in many Chinese regions. Based on the seven-year field survey, faunal composition and host associations of   Cassidinae   beetles were systematically compiled for Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. In particular, through direct field observations, detailed biological information, such as life history and behavioural features and host plants were first recorded for 56 species of   Cassidinae   beetles. We have tripled the number of   Cassidinae   species in Qiannan. Sixty-nine species of   Cassidinae   beetles belonging to 17 genera and eight tribes were identified, of which 38 species are newly recorded in Guizhou and 56 are newly recorded in Qiannan. The tribes   Leptispini   and   Notosacanthini   were newly recorded in Guizhou. The genera    Thlaspidosoma    Spaeth,    Downesia    Baly,    Klitispa    Uhmann,    Platypria    Guérin-Méneville,    Leptispa    Baly and    Notosacantha    Chevrolat were recorded in Guizhou for the first time. A total of 61 species, 37 genera and 17 families of host plants were collected.   Lardizabalaceae   and   Araliaceae   were new host plant families for   Cassidinae   worldwide. Quantitative food web analysis indicated that   Cassidinae   species in Qiannan mainly feed on   Poaceae  ,   Rosaceae  ,   Convolvulaceae   and   Lamiaceae  .   Callispini   and   Leptispini   only feed on monocots,   Aspidimorphini  ,   Basiprionotini  ,   Cassidini   and   Notosacanthini   only feed on dicots, while   Hispini   feed on both monocots and dicots. The feeding patterns and corresponding damage marks of   Cassidinae   were quite diverse. In addition, the pupal mine-making behaviour of    Dactylispa   excisa    (Kraatz, 1879),    D.   similis    Chen et T’an, 1985 and    D.   uhmanni    Gressitt, 1950 are worth further study. Although preliminary, our field survey is an essential step in understanding   Cassidinae   behaviour and   Cassidinae  -plant interactions.
