Brachypnoea

Brachypnoea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is mostly found in the Neotropical realm, though there are also eight known species in the Nearctic realm.[5][6][7][8]

Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Arthropoda
Class:	Insecta
Order:	Coleoptera
Family:	Chrysomelidae
Subfamily:	Eumolpinae
Tribe:	Eumolpini
Genus:	Brachypnoea Gistel, 1848[1]
Type species
Colaspis tristis Olivier, 1808
Synonyms[2]
Colaspomorpha Weise, 1921[3] Noda Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836 (nec Schellenberg, 1803) Nodonota Lefèvre, 1885[4]

The genus was originally named Noda, named by Chevrolat in Dejean's Catalogue in 1836. However, this was preoccupied by Noda Schellenberg, 1803, a genus in Diptera. Two replacement names were made for Noda: Brachypnoea, by Gistel in 1848, and Nodonota by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885. Since Brachypnoea was published first, it has priority over Nodonota.[2]
