Description
Cypholomia Meyrick, 1933: 378
Type series: Cypholomia leptodeta Meyrick, 1933: 378. Type locality: Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Remarks. The type species was described from three males syntypes from Elisabethville (currently Lubumbashi, DRC) (ex-coll. Seydel). The examination of the type series, deposited in RMCA, shows that the genus is actually very close to Charltona. The male genitalia differ in the strong development of the vinculum and in the phallus subapically broadened, as opposed to the moderate development of the vinculum and cylindrical phallus in Charltona. A revision of the genus Charltona including examination of Cypholomia leptodeta is needed in order to ascertain the validity of Cypholomia. Meyrick (1934) described two additional species of Cypholomia: C. amphiaula and C. crypsibela. Both have genitalia structure rather different from that of C. leptodeta and are respectively transferred to Ancylogastra Bassi & Poltavsky, gen. n. and Prionotalis, below.
