Valid subgenera: Dictyonota, Alcletha, Elina, Kalama. (Horvath 

 (1906c, p. 39) divided the genus Dictyonota into these four 

 subgenera.) 



Synonym: Scraulia. Synonymized with genus by Kirkaldy (1900, 

 p. 241) and later delimited to subgenus Dictyonota (Dictyonota) 

 by Horvath (1906c, p. 39). 



Note: Opinion 251 set aside all prior designations of type species 

 for the nominal genus Dictyonota Curtis (1827). Hurd (1946, p. 461) 

 and Monte (1947, p. 10) both wrongly cited the type species as 

 Dictyonota eryngii (Latreille) (described as Tingis), the same 

 species incorrectly cited and designated by Curtis at the time he 

 erected the genus Dictyonota. (Misidentified genotype.) 



Distribution of species: Palearctic (24), Oriental (2), Ethiopian (1), 

 Nearctic (1, introduced). 



Number of species: 26. 



Dictyonota (Dictyonota) Curtis (1827, p. 154). 



Type species: Cited under the genus. 



Later citation: China (1943, p. 246). 



Synonym: Scraulia. Synonymized with subgenus by Horvath 



(1906c, p. 39). 

 Note: Oshanin (1912, p. 43) erroneously credited the subgenus 



Dictyonota (Dictyonota) to Kirkaldy (1900, p. 241). 

 Distribution of species: Palearctic (7), Oriental (1), Ethiopian (1). 

 Number of species: 9. 



Dictyonota (Alcletha) Kirkaldy (1900, p. 241). 



Type species: Acanthia tricornis Schrank (1801, p. 67). 



Fixation: Kirkaldy (1900, p. 241), by original designation. 



Later citations: Oshanin (1912, p. 43) ; China (1943, p. 246). 



Synonyms: Dictyonota of Stal (1874 p. 49) (not Curtis), synony- 

 mized by Horv&th (1906c, p. 40); Dictyonota of Lethierry and 

 Severin (1896, p. 7) (not Curtis). 



Note: Kirkaldy (1900, p. 241) proposed Alcletha as a new generic 

 name for Dictyonota of Lethierry and Severin (1896, p 7) (not 

 Curtis). Reduced to subgeneric level by Horv&th (1906c, p. 40). 



Distribution of species: Palearctic (5), Oriental (1), Nearctic (1, 

 introduced) .
