description: 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.
