Montrouzierella is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from the South Province and Mont Panié of New Caledonia, and is named after Xavier Montrouzier, the pioneer entomologist of New Caledonia.[1] The genus was established based on general proportions and body size, and may be polyphyletic or paraphyletic.[2]
