Type species
Lypnea: Lypnea flava Baly, 1876a: 446 (New Guinea, Batchian), designation by monotypy; Escaleriella: Escaleriella marginata Weise, 1907: 398 [Spanish Guinea (= Equatorial Guinea)], by present designation; Poephila: Poephila lacessita Weise, 1895: 342 (Addah), designation by monotypy.
Distribution
Afrotropical (including Madagascar), Australian, Eastern Palaearctic, and Oriental regions (Fig. 334).
Ecology
Lypnea flaveola (Bryant, 1944) collected on Oncoba echinata Oliver (Flacourtiaceae) (Bryant 1944b[9], as Poephila).
Notes
About ten species are known from Madagascar and Sub-Saharan Africa . Bechyné (1968: 1718) considered Escaleriella Weise and Lypnea Baly to be separate genera because of the difference in the shape of their elytral epipleura: expanded in Lypnea, but straight and narrow in Escaleriella.
