Cazeresia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae that is endemic to New Caledonia.[2] After recent revision, it now contains several species, many only recently described.[3]. It previously contained only one species, Cazeresia montana, found at 1,450 m and above on Mount Humboldt in the South Province of New Caledonia. Adults of C. montana were found on Dracophyllum involucratum, a species of plant in the family Epacridaceae. According to Jolivet et al. (2005), most probably the larvae feed on the roots of this plant.
Etymology
[edit]The genus is named after Sylvie Cazères, an assistant to the Pocquereux entomological group from the Institut Agronomique néo-Calédonien. Sylvie Cazères collected specimens of C. montana and other species of leaf beetles.[1]
