Glyptoscelis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 38 species of Glyptoscelis described from North, Central and South America.[1][2][3][4][5] There are also three species of Glyptoscelis known from the West Indies, though they are wrongly placed in the genus.[6] In addition, a single species was described from Hunan, China in 2021.[7]
