SYNOPSIS The first species of the cythereine genus Callostoma from outside the Palaearctic Region is described from the Ogaden region of Ethiopia. The relationships of Oniromyia Bezzi are examined, and a new subfamily is proposed to contain it as its affinities lie closer to the Cylleniinae than to the Cythereinae sensu stricto.
