Edusella is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. They occur in Australia.

Taxonomy

The genus Edusa was originally named by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1836, in Dejean's Catalogue of Coleoptera. However, the name Edusa is usually attributed to Félicien Chapuis, who described the genus in 1874 and divided it into three subgenera: Edusa, Edusella, and Edusina. These divisions of the genus are not used by later authors. Edusa Chapuis, 1874 was then found to be preoccupied by multiple older animal genera of the same name (by Gistel, 1848 in Tunicata, Albers, 1860 in Gastropoda, and Martens, 1860 in Mollusca), so it was renamed to Edusia by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885.[3] However, the name Edusa continued to be used for these beetles by some authors regardless. Later, the name Edusella, one of the subgenera created by Chapuis, was chosen as the name of the genus instead of either Edusa or Edusia.[4]

According to Bousquet et al. in 2013, the original name Edusa by Chevrolat was actually available, and therefore has priority over Edusella. An application to the ICZN is necessary to conserve usage of the name Edusella Chapuis, 1874.[2]
