Omalaspis latreilii
(Hartig)
n. comb.
has been the object of controversy. Described in the genus
Figites
, it has been transferred twice to the genus
Callaspidia
(
Giraud, 1860
;
Dalla Torre & Kieffer, 1910
). It was also considered by
Dalla Torre (1889)
as an
Onychia
, currently synonymous to
Aspicera
.
Weld (1952)
, following the pattern defended by
Dalla Torre & Kieffer (1910)
, considers it as
Callaspidia latreillii
, and in the same study synonymizes
Tavaresia
with
Omalaspis
.
Schmidt (1962)
, defends the genus
Tavaresia
,
and transfers
C. latreillii
to
Tavaresia
. After studying the
type
material
Figites latreillii
, the description of
Tavaresia
(
T. carinata
Kieffer
;
type
presumably lost) and the genotype of
Omalaspis
(
Omalaspis noricus
Giraud
), we conclude that
Tavaresia
is a synonymy of
Omalaspis
, as
Weld (1952)
mentions, and that
Figites latreilli
has to be transferred to
Omalaspis
.
