''Aporocera'' is a genus of leaf beetles commonly called case bearing leaf beetles in the subfamily Cryptocephalinae. Aporocera are well represented in all states of Australia〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aporocera Saunders, 1842 )〕 and consist of 148 species in two subspecies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statistics for Aporocera Saunders, 1842 )〕 The adults are roughly cylindrical in shape and have long antennae, more-so for males. They are common on Eucalyptus including Eucalyptus globulus but are usually not a problem. Eggs are about 1mm and are laid inside faecal pellets. When the larvae hatch, they work a hole in one end and remain in the faecal case as they feed on leaf litter on the forest floor. When they pupate, they seal their case again.
