Lahejia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae.[5] It is known from Africa and Asia. It is related to Malegia.[3]
Taxonomy
The genus was first created in 1896 by Charles Joseph Gahan for the single species Lahejia cinerascens, which was collected by Lieutenant-Colonel John William Yerbury from Lahij, Yemen (spelled as "Lahej" in the paper).[1] In 2002, Stefano Zoia determined that Pseudomalegia (a genus created by Martin Jacoby in 1897) was a synonym of Lahejia, transferring to the latter genus six more species (while a seventh became a synonym of L. cinerascens).[3] In 2010, two further species were moved to the genus from Microlypesthes and Malegia in the sixth volume of the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera.[6]
