==Taxonomic history== {{see also|Neofidia}} In 1861, Victor Motschulsky described a new species of beetle from Japan with the name ''Fidia atra''. In 1863, Joseph Sugar Baly designated ''Fidia atra'' as the type species of a newly established genus with the name ''Lypesthes''. In a 2008 review of the New World genus ''Fidia'' Baly, 1863, it was determined that Motschulsky's species description made the name ''Fidia'' available first, meaning that ''Lypesthes'' Baly, 1863 is a junior synonym of ''Fidia'' Motschulsky, 1861 and that ''Fidia'' Baly, 1863 is a junior homonym.<ref name="Strother2008">{{cite journal|first1=M.S.|last1=Strother|first2=C.L.|last2=Staines|year=2008|title=A revision of the New World genus ''Fidia'' Baly 1863 (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Eumolpinae: Adoxini)|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/305682170|journal=Zootaxa|volume=1798|pages=1–100|doi=10.11646/zootaxa.1798.1.1}}</ref>
An application to suppress ''Fidia'' Motschulsky, 1861 (with the year incorrectly given as "1860") and conserve usage of ''Fidia'' Baly, 1863 and ''Lypesthes'' Baly, 1863 was submitted to the ICZN in 2006.
