Abstract
Spilindolla, a new genus of Neotropical Coccinellini, is proposed to a ccommodate the species Cycloneda vigintiduonotata (Mulsant), C. darest ei (Mulsant) and Egleis constellata Mulsant. These three species const itute new combinations within Spilindolla. The new genus is most close ly allied to Spiloneda Casey and belongs to a subgroup of nine other g enera within the neotropical coccinelline fauna informally designated as ''Olla and allies.'' Spilindolla is compared to related as well as superficially similar genera. The species are described, keyed and ill ustrated and their distributions given.
