In the description the genus
Galloa
is only compared with the also monospecific African genus
Corymeta
Brunner
von Wattenwyl, 1878. In Brunner’s key to genera this genus is separated from six New World genera by posteriorly dilated lateral lobes of the pronotum and a pistillate male anal segment. Piza’s male specimen lacks both these characters, and among the group of other genera it fits very well into
Hyperophora
.
