The leaf-beetle genus    Platypria    Guérin-Méneville, 1840 comprises two subgenera and 34 species (  Chrysomelidae  :   Cassidinae  :   Hispini  ). Host plants are documented for eight species and indicate mostly perennial species of   Fabaceae   and   Rhamnaceae  . Larvae and pupae have been documented for two    Platypria    species. This paper presents novel natural history data, based on a field study of populations of   Platypria  ( Platypria )  hystrix   (Fabricius, 1798) on    Erythrina   stricta    Roxb. and    Pueraria   phaseoloides    (Roxb.) Benth. in Kerala, south India and on    Erythrina   variegata    L.,   Pueraria   montana   var.   lobata   (Willd.) Maes. &amp; S. Almeida and    Mucuna   pruriens    (L) DC in Assam, northeast India. Three new   Fabaceae   hosts are reported for   P.  ( P. )  hystrix  . Brief notes and new host records, based on field observations, are also provided for the other three species of    Platypria    in India –   P.  ( P. )  chiroptera   Gestro, 1899,   P.  ( P. )  echidna   Guérin-Méneville, 1840 and   P.  ( P. )  erinaceus   (Fabricius, 1801).    Platypria    females slit the leaf to lay a single egg which is covered with secretions that harden as an ootheca, the egg covering in   Cassidinae   s. l.  There are five larval stages, each with the typical ‘hispine’ mining form and behaviour – a flattened cream-coloured body, chitinised head capsule and claws, and feeding on mesophyll and leaving irregular blotch mines on the host leaves. Pupation occurs in an independent pupal mine and lasts about a week. These observations suggest new potential phylogenetic character hypotheses that can stimulate better data collection on leaf-mining   Cassidinae   and help resolve evolutionary patterns amongst these basal mining genera.
