Eupetale is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains two species known from South America.[1]

The original name used for this genus was Lycaste Gistel, 1848, which was later found to be an unnecessary new replacement name for Chalcophana. Additionally, Lycaste Gistel, 1848 is a junior homonym of Lycaste Gistel, 1834 in Buprestidae (a synonym of Polycesta), and Lycaste Agassiz, 1846 in Crustacea (an emendation of Lycesta Savigny, 1816, which is a synonym of Leucothoe).[3] In 2021, Flowers proposed a new name for the genus, Eupetale, for the two species formerly placed in Lycaste Gistel, 1848.[1] Under the name Lycaste, Callicolaspis was formerly considered a synonym of the genus, but in 2003 Callicolaspis was restored as a separate genus.[4]
