Abirus
Abirus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed from the Malay Archipelago to the Indian subcontinent, China, and the Ryukyu Islands. The genus was first established by the Belgian entomologist Félicien Chapuis in 1874, as a split of Dermorhytis.
Abirus fortunei is known as a major pest of mulberry in China.
