Phratora vitellinae, the brassy leaf beetle, formerly Phyllodecta vitellinae, is a beetle of the family Chrysomelidae found in Europe and Asia.[1][2][3] It feeds on Populus and Salix species.[2][4][5] The evolution of its host plant preferences[4][6][7] and the mechanism by which it uses host plant chemicals to make a larval defensive secretion[8][9] have been the subject of intense study by research groups in Europe and the Nordic countries.[10][4][11][6][7][12][8][9]
