Sagrinae, also known as frog-legged beetles or kangaroo beetles, are a subfamily of the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae).
== Description == Beetles in this subfamily feature distinctive enlarged hindlegs, giving them their common names. While both males and females display enlarged hindlegs, the males' legs are significantly larger, a form of sexual dimorphism. Male beetles additionally have a large spine on the ventral sides of their hindlegs, used for grasping and removing rival males during competitions for access to females.
