Dictyneis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to Chile. It is apterous.

Taxonomy

The original type species designated for Dictyneis was Myochrous pulvinosus Blanchard, 1851. This species was moved to Glyptoscelis by Jerez and Berti (1987), which would automatically make Dictyneis a synonym of Glyptoscelis. However, Jerez (1991) then designated Myochrous asperatus Blanchard, 1851 as the type species, which is considered invalid by Elgueta, Daccordi & Zoia (2017). Despite this, Dictyneis continues to be used, as it is intended that a submission to the ICZN will be made to preserve the name.
