Remarks

The lectotype for Galleruca fasciata is designated here to have a unique bearer of this name and the standard for its application. The lectotype is quite dirty, but the species is quite unique and thus all characters for identification are still visible. We confirm the correct placement in the genus Ciguapanychis Konstantinov, Van Roie & Furth, 2022 based on the following characters: frontal ridge short, as wide as transverse diameter of antennal socket, vertex with some (but not many) punctures, pronotal edges moderately convex, hind margin of pronotum sinusoidal, epipleuron visible in lateral view for about ⅓ of elytron (see also Konstantinov et al. 2022).
