Ochralea

Ochralea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Galerucinae. It is distributed in the Oriental realm. The genus was formerly considered a synonym of Monolepta, until it was resurrected by Hazmi and Wagner in 2010,[1] but the name is a permanently unavailable junior homonym of Ochralea Chevrolat, 1836 and will need to be replaced.

For the leaf beetle genus Ochralea Chevrolat, 1836, see Oides.
