Brachiacantha Chevrolat in Dejean, 1837, Hinda Mulsant, 1850, Cyra Mulsant, 1850 and Tiphysa Mulsant, 1850 were studied, and a key to genera is added. Cleothera loricata Mulsant, 1850 is designated type species of Cyra. The lectotype of Brachiacantha sellata is designated. Three new combinations are proposed: Cyra loricata (Mulsant, 1850), Cyra scapulata (Mulsant, 1853) and Cyra turbata (Mulsant, 1850). Diagnosis and illustrations of characters are provided.
