  • Chrysomela brunnea Fabricius, 1781: 123; Fabricius, 1792: 323. [original combination]
  • Colaspis brevicollis Broun, 1880: 625. [syn. Shaw (1957: 646), but doubtful according to Kuschel (1990: 69)]
    • Type locality: "near Whangarei Heads". [North Island, New Zealand]
    • Holotype: male ♂, BMNH?
  • Eucolaspis ochracea Broun, 1893: 1303. [syn. Shaw (1957: 646), but doubtful according to Kuschel (1990: 69)]
    • Type locality: "North Island; different localities". [North Island, New Zealand]
    • Lectotype: female ♀, designated by Shaw (1957: 646): BMNH?
  • Eucolaspis vittiger Broun, 1893b: 391.[syn. Shaw (1957: 646), but doubtful according to Kuschel (1990: 69)]

NOTE: "The synonymy published by Shaw (1957) is best ignored, as the author didn't appreciate the distinct differences in the male genitalia" (Kuschel, 1990: 69). Since Kuschel lists Eucolaspis colorata and Eucolaspis picticornis explicitly as valid species, Wikispecies follow him herein, but retain the other nominal species as synonyms until such time as they are explicitly reinstated.
