Atechna Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836: 403

Type species: Chrysomela quatuordecimguttata Fabricius, 1798, by subsequent designation by Chevrolat, 1843: 656.

Note: The type species is sometimes given as Chrysomela striata DeGeer, 1778, by subsequent designation by Monrós & Bechyné, 1956: 1131. (e.g. in Bieńkowski, 2019). The type species was however designated earlier by Chevrolat, 1843: 656 as "type. Chry. 14-guttata Fab." which currently refers a synonym of Chrysolina duodecimguttata (Thunberg, 1787), currently placed in subgenus Chersomela. Bieńkowski, 2019 notes on his p.308 introduction to Chersomela that his colleague Mauro Daccordi "considers Atechna (=Athecna) and Chersomela (= Polysticta) to be the same subgenus)."
