Kelly, P.O. and Reid, C.A.M., 1999. Designation of type species for the genera of Australian paropsine beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Memoirs of Museum Victoria 57: 263-266. Type species are listed for all Australian genera in the subtribe Paropsina, including necessary first designations for Chrysophlharta Weise, Faex Weise. Notodea Marsham, Pyrgoides gen. nov., Sterromela Weise, Trachymela Weise and Trochalodes Weise. The synonymy of Notodea with Pumpsis Olivier, and Pyrgoicles with Acacicola Lea are confirmed. A new species synonym is recorded: Paropsis humadryas Stal = Acacicola tristis Lea.
