Type genus. Kalligramma haeckeli Walther, 1904 , by monotypy.

Diagnosis. May be separated from other genera of Kalligrammatinae by combination of following wing character states: one eyespot present in both fore- and hind wings [absent in both wings of Abrigramma , in hind wings of Oregramma ]; subcostal veinlets mainly forked in forewing [all or most subcostal veinlets simple in Oregramma , Abrigramma ]; CuP deeply forked in hind wing (except for five species in which it is shallowly forked) [CuP pectinately branched in Sinokalligramma ].
