In his review of the genus Chondrolepis , De Jong (1986) found that based on an analysis of adult characters Chondrolepis seems to form a monophyletic group with Ploetzia and Moltena , with Zophopetes as their nearest relative. We have treated the early stages of the grass-feeding Chondrolepis in Cock & Congdon (2014), and the palm-feeders Ploetzia and Zophopetes in Cock et al . (2014), but deferred a comparison of the three genera until we had treated Moltena .
