According to recent literature, the name ''Scelodonta'' <small>Westwood, 1838</small> is actually a junior synonym of ''Heteraspis'' <small>Chevrolat ''in'' Dejean, 1836</small>. As the conditions for reversal of precedence in the [International Code of Zoological Nomenclature](/source/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](/source/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>
