Subfamily
Pseudophyllinae
The genus
Cymatomerella
currently contains the four species
C. excisa
(Kevan, 1954)
,
C. muta
Beier, 1954
,
C. pardopunctata
Hemp, 2013
and
C. spilophora
(Walker, 1870)
. For all these species not much information is available and partly very few individuals were collected.
Cymatomerella
is distinguished from the very similar genus
Cymatomera
by the venation of the tegmina. In
Cymatomera
R and Sc are contiguous, while in
Cymatomerella
both veins are running in parallel for most of their length but are clearly separated from each other, connected by numerous short crossveins.
