Type species. Calodia paucita Nielson 1982: 186 View in CoL

Description. Moderate size to large robust species. Length of male 6.00-10.50 mm. General habitus as in description of Calodia ; aedeagus long to moderately long, narrow, tubular, shaft never inflated or constricted, processes range from few to numerous, very short to moderately long, often setose, sometimes spinose, rarely toothed, rarely in combination, in dorsal view processes often subapical in rows on each lateral margin of shaft, projecting laterally or short to long row on one side of shaft, rare near middle of shaft; pygofer glabrous, usually sparsely setose; pygofer without caudodorsal process, often with small lobe, rarely with caudoventral process, glabrous or sparsely setose; style simple, often with short apophysis; subgenital plate often with apical spine, often in combination with sparse microsetae or not, rarely glabrous.

Etymology. The name is a combination the Latin root creber - [= dense] and suffix - olidia, an arbitrary selection derived from the genus Coelidia . The gender is feminine.

Remarks. Creberulidia is similar to genera possessing long, narrow aedeagus and is distinguished from them by several to numerous processes on the shaft. Twenty two species (17 in new combinations) are assigned, all formerly in the genus Calodia except Taharana aperta and 5 new species. The genus is widely distributed throughout the Oriental region from India eastward across Asia to Japan, Philippines and Indonesia.
