Mayickyella lobophoralis is a snout moth in the subfamily Spilomelinae of the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1896 in the genus Ambia based on specimens collected in the India n states of Sikkim and Nagaland.[1]
The species was formerly considered as a member of the Eoophyla lobophoralis species group in the Acentropinae, but was transferred to the newly created Spilomelinae genus Malickyella, of which M. lobophoralis is the type species.[2]
Neobalanocarpus heimii, a hardwood tree species in the Dipterocarpaceae family, has been reported as the foodplant, where the larva feeds on the leaves.[3]
