Genus Afissa Dieke, 1947

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.
