Phytoecia scutellata (Fabricius, 1792)
Cardoria scutellata (Fabricius, 1792)
Some authors place this species in its own genus Cardoria, while other
authors regard Cardoria as a subgenus of Phytoecia. In my opinion, there
is currently insufficient evidence for the monophyly of Cardoria and
the other subgenera of Phytoecia to warrant their acceptance as separate
genera. Therefore, I currently do not split Phytoecia into numerous
smaller genera.
