Dictyneis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to Chile.[2] It is apterous.[3]

Taxonomy[]

The original type species designated for Dictyneis was Myochrous pulvinosus Blanchard, 1851.[1] This species was moved to Glyptoscelis by Jerez and Berti (1987),[4] which would automatically make Dictyneis a synonym of Glyptoscelis. However, Jerez (1991) then designated Myochrous asperatus Blanchard, 1851 as the type species,[3] which is considered invalid by Elgueta, Daccordi & Zoia (2017).[2] Despite this, Dictyneis continues to be used, as it is intended that a submission to the ICZN will be made to preserve the name.[2][3]
