Brachypnoea Nana
''Brachypnoea'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is mostly found in the Neotropical realm, though there are also eight known species in the Nearctic realm. The genus was originally named ''Noda'', named by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat, Chevrolat in Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean, Dejean's Catalogue in 1836. However, this was preoccupied by ''Noda'' Schellenberg, 1803, a genus in Diptera. Two replacement names were made for ''Noda'': ''Brachypnoea'', by Johannes von Nepomuk Franz Xaver Gistel, Gistel in 1848, and ''Nodonota'' by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885. Since ''Brachypnoea'' was published first, it has priority over ''Nodonota''. Species These species belong to the genus ''Brachypnoea'': * ''Brachypnoea acuminata'' (Édouard Lefèvre, Lefèvre, 1885) * ''Brachypnoea acutangula'' (Martin Jacoby, Jacoby, 1890) * ''Brachypnoea angulicollis'' (Édouard Lefèvre, Lefèvre, 1876) * ''Brachypnoea arbustorum'' Jan Bechyné, Bechyné & Bechyn ...

Johannes Von Nepomuk Franz Xaver Gistel
Johannes von Nepomuk Franz Xaver Gistel [Gistl] (11 August 1809 – 9 March 1873) was a German naturalist. He worked at the Museum of Natural History in Regensburg, and wrote on a range of topics under the pseudonyms Garduus and G. Tilesius (an anagram). His contributions to entomology include descriptions of species, with many new names he proposed now mostly relegated to synonymy. Gistel's father Franz Xaver Gistl (1783–1815) worked at the a royal riding school and died in 1813. Gistel was raised by his mother, Maria Anna Gistl (née Hahn, born 1772) and his older sister Katharina Leonora (born 1808). School records indicate that his original name was Lorenz Gistl. He was educated in schools in Rempart and Schönfeld before joining the royal gymnasium in Munich in 1822. His degrees in medicine and philosophy appear to be fake. He wrote works on entomology such as ''Die jetzt lebenden Entomologen, Kerffreunde und kerfsammler Europa’s und der übrigen Continente'' (1836) and ' ...
