Meristata is a genus of Asian leaf beetles in the subfamily Galerucinae. Most of the species in the genus are found along the Himalayas in the China and the Indian Subcontinent.
Species in the genus include:
- Meristata dohrnii (Baly, 1861)
- Meristata elongata (Jacoby, 1898)
- Meristata fallax (Harold, 1880)
- Meristata fraternalis (Baly, 1879)
- Meristata pulunini (Bryant, 1952)
- Meristata quadrifasciata (Hope, 1831)
- Meristata sexmaculata (Kollar & Redtenbacher, 1844)
- Meristata spilota (Hope, 1831) (synonym: Meristata trifasciata (Hope, 1831))
The species Meristata jayarami (Vazirani, 1970) was moved to the genus Leptarthra, and the species Meristata maculata (Bryant, 1954) was moved to the genus Paraspitiella.
