﻿AbstractPolycladaChevrolat andProcalusClark are flea beetle genera (Coleoptera,Chrysomelidae,Galerucinae,Alticini).Polycladais endemic to the Afrotropical region, whileProcalushas never been described outside of the Neotropical region. The new combinationProcalusmaculipennis(Bryant, 1942),comb. nov.is proposed forPolycladamaculipennisBryant, 1942. Its plausible type locality is Venezuela, and not Cameroon, as recorded on the labels of the type material, and hence the occurrence ofP.maculipennisin Africa is questionable.
