Family

Audouin, 1837
.
A single species was seen in this study from two localities and in few numbers.
Padhye
et al.
(2011b)
reported finding
Caenestheriella
from the above mentioned localities, basing their identification on the works of
Nayar & Nair (1968)
and
Battish (1981)
. We now shift this species to genus
Cyzicus
and present a detailed description of the females of this species for the first time from Western Ghats (males were not seen in the collections).
