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.²³
