Genus Cephalodromia Becker, 1914 View in CoL

Cephalodromia View in CoL : Becker 1914: 121. Type species: Cephalodromia curvata Becker, 1914 View in CoL , by monotypy.

Ceratolaemus Hesse, 1938: 969 View in CoL (as subgenus of Platypygus Loew View in CoL ). Type species: Platypygus xanthogrammus Hesse, 1938 , by original designation.

The genus is very similar to Cyrtosia Perris View in CoL in overall body shape and wing venation (open cell dm), but can be separated from it by the characteristic and distinctly produced lower occiput resulting from a either a ventral sulcus or ridge from the oral margin extending posteriorly below the eyes. With the new species described here, the genus is now comprised of 22 species worldwide.
