Abstract
The generic status of Xenochalepus morio (Fabricius, 1801), restored combination is re-established by its removal from the genus Pentispa Chapuis, 1875. The specific status of Pentispa bivittaticollis (Baly, 1885), restored status is restored by its removal from synonymy with X. morio. The species Pentispa larssoni Uhmann, 1957 is placed as a new junior synonym of P. bivittaticollis. The confusion surrounding these species is discussed, and a history of the names is given. Morphological characters and descriptions of the species are given.
