Taxonomy
The genus ''Edusa'' was originally named by
Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1836, in
Dejean's ''Catalogue of Coleoptera''. However, the name ''Edusa'' is usually attributed to
Félicien Chapuis, who described the genus in 1874 and divided it into three subgenera: ''Edusa'', ''Edusella'', and ''Edusina''. These divisions of the genus are not used by later authors. ''Edusa''
Chapuis, 1874 was then found to be preoccupied by multiple older animal genera of the same name (by Gistel, 1848 in
Tunicata and Albers, 1860 in

in 1885.
However, the name ''Edusa'' continued to be used for these beetles by some authors regardless. Later, the name ''Edusella'', one of the subgenera created by Chapuis, was chosen as the name of the genus instead of either ''Edusa'' or ''Edusia''.
According to Bousquet and Bouchard in 2013, the original name ''Edusa'' by Chevrolat was actually available, and therefore has priority over ''Edusella''. An application to the
