Graphops is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 19 described species in Graphops, all from North America.[4][5][6][7] Most species have limited flight capabilities, due to poorly developed wings,[8] and at least one species is known to be flightless.[9]

According to BugGuide and ITIS, the genus is now placed in the tribe Typophorini instead of Adoxini.[7][4]
