Beltia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from the Neotropical realm. It was first erected by Martin Jacoby in 1881 for a single species from Nicaragua. In 2018, it was redefined to include fourteen new species from Central America and northwestern South America, as well as four species transferred from Colaspoides.[2]
