The Lebiini subtribe Gallerucidiina, is composed of two genera; the New world genus Gallerucidia Chaudoir and the Old world genus Lebidia Morawitz. This paper provides diagnoses of these genera as well as diagnoses, redescriptions, illustrations, and distributional data of the five known species of Gallerucidia. Quite amazingly, the Oriental species Lebidia bioculata Morawitz has apparently been introduced to Venezuela. Identification keys are provided to the species of Neotropical Gallerucidiina and to the eight subtribes of Lebiini known to occur in Costa Rica.
