Genus Afissa Dieke, 1947 View in CoL

Tomaszewska & Szawaryn (2016) in their revision of world genera of Epilachnini , proposed Epilachna to be a new world genus and established Afissa as a valid genus. Here, three species Epilachna gibbera Crotch, 1874 , Epilachna mystica Mulsant, 1850 , and Epilachna undecimspilota Hope, 1831 are combined with Afissa based on the shared morphological characters, proposed by Tomaszewska & Szawaryn (2016) for the genus: Lateral margins of elytra not or hardly visible dorsally, sometimes narrowly explanate, and meta-ventral and abdominal post-coxal lines present.
