According to recent literature, the name ''Scelodonta'' Westwood, 1838 is actually a junior synonym of ''Heteraspis'' Chevrolat ''in'' Dejean, 1836. As the conditions for reversal of precedence in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature are not met, ''Heteraspis'' should be used as the valid name for the genus.<ref name="LoblSmetana2010"/><ref>{{cite journal|first1=Yves|last1=Bousquet|first2=Patrice|last2=Bouchard|year=2013|title=The genera in the second catalogue (1833–1836) of Dejean's Coleoptera collection|url=https://archive.org/details/pubmed-PMC3677338|journal=ZooKeys|issue=282|pages=[https://archive.org/details/pubmed-PMC3677338/page/n10 1]–219|doi=10.3897/zookeys.282.4401|pmc=3677338|pmid=23794836|bibcode=2013ZooK..282....1B |doi-access=free}}</ref>
