Citharalia is a monotypic moth genus in the Cossidae family. Its only species, Citharalia idiosetoides, was described by Clench in 1957 and is found in Bolivia.

Taxonomy

Research suggests Citharalia does not fit in the Cossidae, and should be excluded from this family. The genus should perhaps be included in the Cossulinae.
