Kumari, S.A., Moseyko, A.G., Strother, M.S., & Prathapan, K.D. (2020). Neofidia Strother, a new name for Fidia Baly, 1863 and redescription of Fidia kanaraensis (Jacoby, 1895) with a new host record and notes on natural history (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Eumolpinae). European Journal of Taxonomy, 654: 1-25.

Abstract

Neofidia Strother nom. nov., is proposed as the replacement name for Fidia Baly, 1863, a junior homonym of Fidia Motschulsky, 1861 (not 1860, Griffin 1936). A list of the included species of Neofidia Strother nom.

Sexual dimorphism in the attachment ability of the Colorado potato beetle ... to rough substrates

By D. Voigt, J. M. Schuppert, S. Dattinger, and S.N. Gorb
Elsevier Ltd., 2008

Sexual dimorphism in the attachment ability of the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) to rough substrates, Journal of Insect Physiology, Volume 54(5): 765-776, 2008.

L. decemlineata has myriad deformable setae on its tarsi which allow it to adhere to rough surfaces due to van der Waal's force. Deformation of the setae and adhesive secretions allow for a greater contact area, enhancing the bond.

Biosystematics of the genus Trirhabda LeConte of America north of Mexico (Chrysomelidae: Coleoptera)

By Steve Munroe Hogue
Ph.D. dissertation, University of Idaho, 212 pp., 1970

Apparently the most complete overall reference on Trirhabda to date...it's often repeatedly cited in later publications referring to the genus.

Hard to access in libraries, but can be ordered from UMI/ProQuest (for "UMI Publication Number", use "7027230").
