Charlesella Heffern & Santos-Silva 2023

Charlesella, replacement name Pygmaeopsis Schaeffer, 1908: 347 (non Warren, 1907: 295). Remarks. Schaeffer (1908) described Pygmaeopsis for his new species P. viticola, from the United States of America (only known from the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas). However, the generic name had already been used by Warren (1907) to include his new species P. purpurea, from Peru. Therefore, we are proposing Charlesella as a replacement name for Pygmaeopsis Schaeffer, resulting in two new combinations: C. viticola (Schaeffer, 1908) and C. apicalis (Bezark & Santos-Silva, 2019). Etymology. The genus name is in honor of Charles Frederic August Schaeffer. Feminine gender.Published as part of Heffern, Daniel & Santos-Silva, Antonio, 2023, Description of a new Brazilian species of Acanthoderini, new records in American Cerambycinae and Lamiinae, and a replacement name for a genus (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae), pp. 555-562 in Zootaxa 5318 (4) on page 561, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5318.4.8, http://zenodo.org/record/818197
