Taxonomy
The genus ''Edusa'' was originally named by
Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat
Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat was a French entomologist, born 29 March 1799 in Paris and died 16 December 1884 in Paris.
In government service in Paris, this amateur entomologist studied mainly beetles and birds. He published nearly 250 note ...
in 1836, in
Dejean's ''Catalogue of Coleoptera''. However, the name ''Edusa'' is usually attributed to
Félicien Chapuis
Félicien Chapuis (29 April 1824 – 30 September 1879) was a Belgian doctor and entomologist. He specialised in Coleoptera

, 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 and Albers, 1860 in
Gastropoda), so it was renamed to ''Edusia'' by
Édouard Lefèvre

in 1885.
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''.
According to Bousquet and Bouchard in 2013, the original name ''Edusa'' by Chevrolat was actually available, and therefore has priority over ''Edusella''. An application to the
