Phylloplecta Riley, 1884 . Type species Phylloplecta tripunctata (Fitch, 1851)

Choricymoza Bliven, 1955 . Type species Choricymoza sequoiae Bliven, 1955 syn.n.

Burckhardt and Lauterer (1997) suggested a congeneric status for Choricymoza and Phylloplecta based on the close similarity of Choricymoza sequoiae to Phylloplecta rubicola ( Tuthill, 1943) according to Bliven’s original descriptions of the former. From examination of the type material (CAL) we can confirm the superficial designation of this species as a monotypic genus, and as with Nyctiphalerus above, it seems that Bliven may not have examined related Californian species.
