Plagiometriona
Plagiometriona is a genus of tortoise beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. Several species occurring in Central and North America have sometimes been classified under a separate genus, Helocassis,[1][2] but North American researchers continue to treat Helocassis as a junior synonym.[3][4]
