Glomeremus Karny 1937

Glomeremus Karny, 1937 Remarks. The genus Glomeremus Karny, 1937 contains sixteen species in mainland Africa and Reunion, Mauritius and Socotra (Cigliano et al. 2024 a). Hugel et al. (2010) and Cadena-Castañeda (2019) propose that the genus is likely polyphyletic, suggesting that the island species might warrant classification under a distinct genus. On Socotra, three species occur. Glomeremus pileatus (Krauss, 1902) is strongly related to G. capitatus Uvarov, 1957, whereas G. mediopictus Uvarov, 1957 differs strongly from the former two in the shape of terminalia and wings and may even merit placement in a separate genus.
