Extract

The exhibit shows how knowledge of food relationships and distributional patterns has aided in the recognition of sibling species, i.e., of species that lack evident distinguishing characters, in three genera of Chrysomelidae. Both adults and larvae of all species exhibited feed on leaves. All can be reared in the laboratory on their normal fool-plants with little mortality.
