Brachypnoea lecontei is a species of leaf beetle.[3][4][5][6] It occurs in the Great Plains of the United States . In Texas , it is known to feed on Texas live oak (Quercus fusiformis).[6]
Brachypnoea lecontei was first described with the name "Colaspis humeralis" by John Lawrence LeConte in 1858. Before 2003, the species was considered a synonym of Brachypnoea puncticollis. A study of LeConte's type material at the Museum of Comparative Zoology confirmed that Colaspis humeralis LeConte, 1858 was in fact a valid species in the genus Brachypnoea. Because the name Colaspis humeralis LeConte, 1858 was also a primary junior homonym of Colaspis humeralis Latreille, 1833 (now Brachypnoea humeralis), LeConte's species was renamed to "Brachypnoea lecontei" in honor of the species' original author.[1]
