abstract:The genus Babia comprises a number of species of leaf beetles in the subfamily Cryptocephalinae, though historically they were often treated within a subfamily Clytrinae. The number of species in the genus is at least 12, but as there are almost as many described members which are subspecies (a rank which is not universally accepted), this number may be greater in some classifications.
