Eleia Gistel, 1848

Eleia Gistel, 1848b : viii, xiv; GISTEL (1848c): [9]; GISTEL (1851):viii, xiv.

Current status. Junior objective synonym of Chrysomela Linnaeus, 1758 (see BOUCHARD et al. 2011).

Comments. Eleia Gistel, 1848 was proposed as an unnecessary new replacement name for Chrysomela Linnaeus, 1758 ( GISTEL 1848b). BIEŃKOWSKI (2019) proposed Eleia as a nomen oblitum for Chrysolina (nomen protectum). There was no reason for such an act as Eleia was explicitly proposed as a new replacement name for Chrysomela .
