Bepea is a moth genus in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. [1]

The name Bepea is a replacement name, or nomen novum, proposed by Koçak & Kemal in 2007. [2] The new name was necessary because the previous genus name, Notesia Yamanaka, 1992, was a junior homonym of Notesia Casey, 1922, a genus of weevils. [3] Notesia Yamanaka, 1992, however, was also a replacement name, as the original name of the genus, Notaspis Warren, 1892, was a junior homonym of the mite genus Notaspis Hermann, 1804. [4]

The genus currently comprises two species: the type species, Bepea tranquillalis, was described by Julius Lederer in 1863. It is found in Indonesia, [1] Papua New Guinea [5] and Taiwan. A second species, Bepea pyraustalis, was transferred to the genus by Koçak & Kemal (2007). [2] It was described by Embrik Strand in 1918 in the genus Calamochrous based on specimens collected in Kankau and Kosempo on Taiwan. [1]
