Genus: Demotispa Baly, 1858

Demotispa Baly, 1858: 65 (type species: Demotispa pallida Baly, 1858, designated by Monros and Viana, 1947); Seeno and Wilcox, 1982: 158; Staines, 1991: 247; Borowiec, 2000 g: 183.

Demothispa: Gemminger and Harold, 1876: 3599, unvalid. emend.

Pseudimatidium Aslam, 1965: 691 (type species: Demotispa pallida Baly, 1858, by original designation); Seeno and Wilcox, 1982: 172; Borowiec, 1984: 412, objective synonym.

Note: more than 40 species were described under generic name Demotispa or Demothispa from South America. In my opinion, most of them are not congeneric with Demotispa pallida Baly and their generic placement needs further study.
