Eumolpus (beetle)

Eumolpus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They are mostly found in the Neotropical realm, though one species (Eumolpus robustus) has been recorded as far north as Arizona (in the United States). The genus is named after Eumolpus, from Greek mythology, who was the son of Poseidon and Chione.

Nomenclature

The genus in its current sense is attributed to Weber, 1801. However, the name Eumolpus was first used in Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger's Verzeichniß der Käfer Preußens in 1798, where it was attributed to Johann Gottlieb Kugelann, and originally consisted of European species now placed in the genera Chrysochus and Bromius. While most authors followed Weber, 1801, some recent authors have synonymised Chrysochus or Bromius with the genus as a result of following Illiger, 1798 or other authors.

In 2010, an application was made to ICZN to conserve the names Eumolpus Weber, 1801, Chrysochus Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836 and Bromius Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836 by suppressing the name Eumolpus Kugelann in Illiger, 1798.[4] This was accepted by ICZN in 2012, though the authorship of the rejected name was modified by the commission to Eumolpus Illiger, 1798.[5]
