Nezara Amyot &
Serville,
1843
Nezara Amyot & Serville, 1843: XXVI, 143-144.
Rhaphigaster (Nezara): Dallas, 1851: 274.
Pentatoma (Nezara) Gorski, 1852: 103.
Type species: Lioderma: Cimex smaragdulus Fabricius, 1775 (= Cimex viridulus Linnaeus, 1758), by subsequent designation (Distant, 1902). Distant (1902) designated Cimex viridulus Linnaeus, 1758, as type of Nezara. Unfortunately, C. viridulus was not an original member of the genus, but it is a senior synonym to Cimex smaragdulus Fabricius, 1775, which was an original member of Nezara. Distant did treat Nezara viridula, and listed smaragdulus as a synonym, so article 69.2.2 of the Code of Zoological Nomenclature applies, and Distant’s designation should be considered valid.
