Remarks
The
lectotype
for
Galleruca nitida
is designated here to have a unique bearer of this name and the standard for its application. The
lectotype
is missing segments 3–11 of the right antenna. The
paralectotype
is missing segments 2–11 of the left antenna. We place this species, previously included in the genus
Wanderbiltiana
Bechyné, 1955
, in
Asphaera
based on the following characters: distance between antennal sockets less than the transverse diameter of antennal socket in frontal view, second antennomere about half as long as third antennomere, anterolateral callosity of pronotum long and directed anteriorly. Lateral margin of elytron widely explanate (see also
Konstantinov
et al.
2022
).
