Costalimaita is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The genus is distributed in South America.^[2] It was established by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in 1954, and is dedicated to the Brazilian entomologist Ângelo Moreira da Costa Lima.^[1]

In Brazil, adults of the species are commonly reported attacking and causing severe damage to eucalyptus plants of any age. They are also associated with other members of the plant family Myrtaceae.^[3]^[4]^[5]
