Distribution. India: Tamil Nadu( Kandasamy 1986, as Euphyllura nigrigenataand Euphyllura nigriantennata[sic]). Hostplant unknown.
Comments.Based on the description of Kandasamy (1986) Euphyllura nigrigenata Kandasamy, 1986belongs to Crytophyllura Li, 2011. Within the Euphyllurinae, Crytophyllurashares with Brachyphyllura Li, 2011, EuphylluraFoerster, 1848, Ligustrinia Loginova, 1973and SyringillaLoginova, 1967following putative synapomorphy: mesepimeron flat, clearly delimited by a rim. In Brachyphyllura, Crytophylluraand Ligustriniathe vein C+Sc of the forewing bears a shallow notch or kink subapically, which we also consider a putative synapomorphy. Crytophylluradiffers from Brachyphylluraand Ligustriniain the posterior margin of the vertex which is convex rather than straight or concave. Following new combination is proposed here: Crytophyllura nigrigenata( Kandasamy, 1986), comb. nov.from Euphyllura. In the legend to his Fig. 8, Kandasamy (1986: 92)refers to this species as Euphyllura nigriantennata[sic] which is a misspelling.
