 126; 1947, p. 17). 



Distribution of species: Neotropical.

Octacysta, new genus (Flates 6, 7). 



Type species: Tingis rotundata Herrich-Schaeffer (1835, p. 59). 



Fixation: Present designation. 



Note: This genus is erected to hold rotundata (Herrich-Schaeffer), 

 which for many years has been placed as a member of MpTwnthia. 

 Suppressing Monanthia as a synonym of Copium and resurrecting 

 Dictyla from synonymy (with M. platyoma as the type species) 

 make it necessary to erect this new genus to hold rotundata 

 (Herrich-Schaeffer). Octacysta, new genus, is separated from 

 Dictyla by the eight inflated cysts (hood, each paranotum, hind 

 process of pronontum, and two processes on discal part of each 

 elytron). 



Description: Head short, very little produced in front of cyos, 

 unarmed or provided with two to five spines; bucculae broad, 

 areolate, with ends meeting in front, not produced beyond apex 

 of clypcus. Labium moderately long; laminae wide, areolate,
