Afroeurydemus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae, found in Africa.[3][4] The genus was separated from Eurydemus in 1965 by Brian J. Selman, who moved all African species of Eurydemus he had seen to this genus or related African genera and considered it likely that Eurydemus was restricted to Fiji. Many species were also originally placed in Syagrus.[1]
