The Cryptocephalinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae), and belong to the group of case-bearing leaf beetles called the Camptosomata.
The tribes Fulcidacini and Clytrini were formerly considered subfamilies of their own, and are presently treated only as tribes.[1] Species in at least 14 genera of Clytrini and Cryptocephalini are myrmecophilous, living with ants.[2]
