 Type species. Chrysomela staphylaea Linnaeus, 1758, by present designation.   
 Current status. Designated here as a nomen oblitum for Chrysolina Motschulsky, 1860 (nomen protectum).   
 Comments. The name is available based on Article 12.2.5 (ICZN 1999). BOUCHARD et al. (2011) listed Chloemela Gistel, 1856 as a synonym of Chrysomela Linnaeus, 1758. Because the type species was never designated and all included available species names belong to Chrysolina Motschulsky, 1860 and Phratora Chevrolat, 1836, the synonymy with Chrysomela is incorrect.   
 GISTEL (1856a) listed altogether 23 names under the genus Chloemela. Two of these names, boica and var. aurolimbata, are nomina nuda, and thus are not available. The other 21 names are available and all but one of them are currently classified in the species-rich genus Chrysolina. The exception is C. vulgatissima classified in Phratora. I designate here Chrysomela staphylaea Linnaeus, 1758 as the type species of Chloemela.   
 The acceptance of Chloemela as a valid genus would destabilize the present system as widely used Chrysolina would become synonym of Chloemela. In order to preserve the stability, I apply Article 23.9 of the ICZN (1999) and designate Chloemela as a nomen oblitum and Chrysolina as a nomen protectum. To my knowledge, Chloemela was not treated as a valid name after 1899; thus, the conditions of Article 23.9.1.1 are met. According to Article 23.9.1.2 I supply the references of 25 papers, published by at least 10 authors in the immediately preceding 50 years, and encompassing a span of not less than 10 years, where Chrysolina Motschulsky, 1860 is used as a valid genus name: BIEŃKOWSKI (2007, 2008), BOURDONNÉ (1986), DACCORDI (1994), DACCORDI & RUFFO (1979, 1980), GEISER (2001), JOLIVET & HAWKESWOOD (1995), KIPPENBERG (2004, 2012, 2017), LOPATIN (1992, 2000, 2006), LOPATIN & KULENOVA (1986), MEDVEDEV (1999), MIKHAILOV (2000, 2001, 2002), RHEINHEIMER & HASSLER (2018), RILEY et al. (2003), WAR- CHAŁOWSKI (2010), WINKELMAN (2013), WINKELMAN & DEBREUIL (2008), YANG et al. (2015).
