Cymatophorina is a monotypic moth genus of the family Drepanidae first described by Arnold Spuler in 1908. Its only species, Cymatophorina diluta, the oak lutestring[1] or lesser lutestring,[2] was described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775.[1] It is found in much of Europe,[3] with subspecies Cymatophorina diluta hartwiegi occurring in Britain.[1]
The wingspan is 33–36 mm. The species is univoltine.[1][4] Adults are on wing between late July and early October,[4] depending on location. Subspecies Cymatophorina diluta hartwiegi flies in August and September.[1]
The larvae feed on the leaves of oak trees.
