Heptatomispa kesseli Uhmann, 1932

Published record. Bocaina (UΗආൺඇඇ 1932).

Distribution. Brazil (São Paulo).

Remarks. UΗආൺඇඇ (1932) described the genus Heptatomispa with a single species H. kesseli but formally did not mention that it is the type of the genus. Later on, UΗආൺඇඇ (1940) published a list of type species for the genera he established in his earlier publications without original designation of the type species. Subsequently, UΗආൺඇඇ (1957) listed the generic name with year 1940 and considered its 1932 appearance a nomen nudum; this was followed until recently (e.g., Sඍൺංඇൾඌ 2002). However, UΗආൺඇඇ (1932) combined description of a new genus and a single new nominal species assigned to it and provided them with ‘n. gen.’ and ‘n. sp.’, respectively, thus conditions of the Article 13.4. are fulfilled and the name is valid from the 1932 description ( ICZN 1999).
