Nancita is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. [2] The description of the genus in 1889 included only one species, Nancita alterna. [3]
Nancita alterna was described in 1889 as having an oval-shaped, generally brownish yellow body. The head and thorax are dark brown as are the tarsi. The thorax is more-or-less square with slightly arched edges. The elytra are oval to oblong. The first half is slightly punctuated, the rest being smooth. The elytra are chestnut brown with a transverse white spot in the middle of each one occupying about a third of it. [3]
