One American, from North Dakota, which differs from other species by the presence of 4 4 setae on ventral tube and small setae p3 on Abd. V. The other species is from China, resembles Choreutinula inermis (Tullberg, 1871), is the second species of the genus recorded from Asia, and it differs from other species by the presence of 4 4 setae on ventral tube, as the American species, but shows nine tubercles between setae p1-p1 on Abd.
