Evidence from morphology and information from specimen labels suggests that Cregya are predatory lignicolous beetles involved in Batesian mimetic relationships with galerucine Chrysomelidae. From a computer generated phylogeny, it is postulated that the ancestry of the genus produced seven lines of evolution that correspond to the seven species groups included herein. This work includes French, Spanish and German translations of the abstract, brief discussion about the natural history of the genus, morphological analysis, key to Cregya species, treatise of intrageneric evolution, 240 line drawings, 10 electron micrographs, 16 distributional maps, 94 photographs of aedeagi, and 119 habitus photographs.
