Cyclocephala Dejean, 1821

(not Cyclocephala Strobl, 1902 ) [348 species and 7 additional subspecies].

The valid type species fixation is that of Blanchard in Audouin et al. (1843), who selected Melolontha geminata Fabricius, 1801 , but that species is currently included in the genus Dyscinetus Harold, 1869 .

An application to the Commission is necessary to fix Melolontha signata Fabricius, 1781 (= Cyclocephala amazona (Linnaeus, 1767)) as the type species of Cyclocephala Dejean, 1821 .
