The Mesomphaliini are a tribe of tortoise beetles erected by Frederick William Hope in 1840;[2][3] however, some authorities place the genera in the tribe name Stolaini Hincks, 1952.[1]
Species are mostly found in the Americas, especially the Neotropical realm, but some may occur elsewhere: for example, Chelymorpha and Stolas have representatives in Europe, with Cyrtonota in Japan.
