The genus was originally established under the name Heterocnemis by the Russian entomologist Ferdinand Morawitz in 1860 for a single species, Heterocnemis versicolor. However, the name Heterocnemis had already been used for a genus of flower chafers (Cetoniinae), so Morawitz renamed his genus to Chloropterus the following year.
