Atomyria

Atomyria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Central Asia and Iran.[2][3] In 2012, the genus was moved from the tribe Bromiini to the tribe Nodinini (now known as Typophorini).[4] In 2020, the genus was revised by A. G. Moseyko, who described a new species and transferred two species to Chloropterus, leaving only two valid species remaining within Atomyria.[3]
