Alethaxius Prolixus
''Alethaxius'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed from Mexico to northern South America, and it is also found in the West Indies. The genus was originally named ''Aletes'' by Félicien Chapuis in 1874. However, this name was preoccupied by ''Aletes'' Carpenter, 1857 (in Mollusca), so the genus was renamed to ''Alethaxius'' by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885. According to Flowers (1996), it is very likely that ''Alethaxius'' is polyphyletic and represents at least three different genera.

Édouard Lefèvre
Édouard Lefèvre (22 January 183917 June 1894) was a French botanist and later entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera. He became a member of the Entomological Society of France Entomology () is the scientific study of insects, a branch of zoology. In the past the term "insect" was less specific, and historically the definition of entomology would also include the study of animals in other arthropod groups, such as arach ... in 1869, and twice served as president of the society in 1884 and 1893. He was a civil servant. References * *Constantin, R. 1992: ''Memorial des Coléopteristes Français''. Bull. liaison Assoc.
