description: Cyclosoma Chevrolat, 1833
Cyclosoma Chevrolat, 1833 in GUÉRIN- MÉNEVILLE (1833): fig. 5, pl. 48. Type species: Cassida (Cyclosoma) longicornis Guérin-Méneville, 1833 = Cassida palliata Fabricius, 1787, by monotypy.
Prenea Spaeth, 1913: 129 (original description). Type species: Cassida palliata Fabricius, 1787, designated by HINCKS (1952: 332).
Remarks. The name Cyclosoma first appeared on plate 48 of Iconographie du règne animal and was atributted to Chevrolat while the illustrated species Cassida (Cyclosoma) longicornis was attributed to Fabricius (GUÉRIN- MÉNEVILLE 1833). Later on, in the text part GUÉRIN- MÉNEVILLE (1844) stated that the name longicornis was engraved by mistake and was originally given by Dejean and that the correct name is Cassida palliata Fabricius, 1787. He added that the name Cyclosoma was proposed by Chevrolat for the latter and several other species and subsequently changed to Discomorpha Chevrolat, 1836 which is identical to Oxynodera Hope, 1840.
The name Cyclosoma was omitted by subsequent authors until BARBER & BRIDWELL (1940) who attributed it to Guérin-Méneville, considered it was published in 1835 and synonymized Prenea Spaeth, 1913 with it as both had the same type species. Since GUÉRIN- MÉNEVILLE (1833, 1844) clearly stated that the author of the name is Chevrolat and COWAN (1971) indicated that the plate 48 was published already in 1833 I hereby change the authorship of Cyclosoma to Chevrolat, 1833 (ICZN 1999: Art. 50.1.1).
Cyclosoma has been considered a feminine (e.g. VIANA 1964a, BOROWIEC 1999a). It is a combination of two Greek words, κύκλος (cyclos, = circle) and σῶμα (sóma, = body) and is neuter. Hence gender agreement of endings of all names which are adjectives (denoded in following list by an asterisk) in species currently included in the genus (see BOROWIEC 1999a) is changed to neuter (ICZN 1999: Art. 31.2):
