Aoria is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Members of the genus are distributed in East and Southeast Asia.[2][3][4] Food plants are known for only a few species, all of which were recorded from Vitaceae.[5]

Four genera similar to Aoria are known: Aloria, Enneaoria, Osnaparis and Pseudaoria. Osnaparis is regarded as a subgenus of Aoria by some researchers.[6] In a revision of the genus Aoria in 2012, L. N. Medvedev included both Osnaparis and Pseudaoria as subgenera of Aoria, and treated Enneaoria as a synonym of Aloria.[5]
