The southern corn leaf beetle (Myochrous denticollis) is a crop pest, and has been reported to damage corn in Illinois.[5] Additionally, the species Myochrous melancholicus has been reported to damage banana fruit.[6]
According to BugGuide and ITIS, the genus is now placed in the tribe Eumolpini instead of Adoxini.[1][2]
