The Afrotropical flea beetle genus Notomela Jacoby, 1899 is reviewed. Notomela joliveti sp.n. from Principe Island is described. The following new synonymies are established: Notomela cyanipennis Jacoby, 1899 = Notomela viridipennis Bryant, 1941, syn. n. = Notomela cyanipennis macrosoma Bechyné, 1959, syn. n. In addition, the new combination is established: Notomela fulvofasciata Jacoby, 1903 is transfered to Amphimela [Amphimela fulvofasciata (Jacoby, 1903), comb. n.]. Micrographs of male and female genitalia, scanning electron micrographs of some diagnostic morphological characters, a key to identification, and distributional data for all species of Notomela, are provided.
对1899年雅各比建立的非洲热带叶甲属Notomela进行了综述。描述了来自普林西比岛的新物种Notomela joliveti sp.n.。建立了以下新的同物异名:1899年的Notomela cyanipennis Jacoby = 1941年的Notomela viridipennis Bryant,新同物异名 = 1959年的Notomela cyanipennis macrosoma Bechyné,新同物异名。此外,还建立了新组合:1903年的Notomela fulvofasciata Jacoby被转移到Amphimela属 [Amphimela fulvofasciata (Jacoby, 1903),新组合]。提供了雄性和雌性生殖器的显微照片、一些诊断性形态特征的扫描电子显微照片、鉴定检索表以及Notomela所有物种的分布数据。
