Type species : (Notaspis) alata, Herm., which is 

 sufficiently well characterised to indicate the genus, 

 but not to determine the species. Similarly 

 castanea — the residual species of Hermann's 

 Notaspis — is assignable as type of Notaspis though 

 itself not determinable as a species. See Notaspis 

 below.
