For each species, we review previous records of larval and adult hosts and associated hymenopteran parasitoids, augmenting these with our own observations, including the first accounts of oviposition and larval habits for many species. We present the first rearing records for 12 of these species: </span><em>Anisostena californica</em><span> Van Dyke, </span><em>A. funesta</em><span> (Baly), </span><em>A. lecontii </em><span>(Baly), </span><em>A. perspicua</em><span> (Horn), </span><em>Microrhopala excavata</em><span> (Olivier), </span><em>Odontota floridana</em><span> Butte, </span><em>Stenopodius lateralis</em><span> (Schaeffer), </span><em>Altica lazulina</em><span> LeConte, </span><em>Dibolia obscura</em><span> Parry, </span><em>Monoxia inornata</em><span> Blake, </span><em>Zeugophora puberula</em><span> Crotch, and </span><em>Z. varians</em><span> Crotch; as well as 18 new state and provincial records for chrysomeloids, although some of these are based on tentative identifications.</span></p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-publication-link field--type-link field--label-hidden field__item">https://mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5549.1.1</div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-publication-authors field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Charles S.
