Asparagus beetle

Crioceris, or asparagus beetle, is a genus belonging to the family Chrysomelidae of beetles. The name is Neo-Latin from Greek Template:Wikt-lang, ram and Template:Wikt-lang, horn. <ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Not all species in the genus Crioceris feed on asparagus (e.g., C. nigropicta). Some studies have found low genetic diversity among groups of isolated Chrysomelidae, and use Wolbachia species as a genetic marker.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
