Taxonomy
Research that suggests Citharalia does not fit in the Cossidae, and should be excluded from this family. The genus should perhaps be included in the Cossulinae.{{aut|Schoorl, J.W.}} 1990: [http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/document/149102 "A phylogenetic study on Cossidae (Lepidoptera: Ditrysia) based on external adult morphology"].
