Crioceris, or asparagus beetle, is a genus of the family Chrysomelidae of beetles. The name is Neo-Latin from Greek κριός, ram and κέρας, horn. [2] Not all species in the genus Crioceris feed on asparagus (e.g., C. nigropicta). Some studies have found low genetic diversity among groups of isolated Chrysomelidae, and use Wolbachia species as a genetic marker.[3]
