Type species: Uranophora chalybea Hübner, [1831] [[2]] by monotypy.

Synonyms

• Note: Cerda (2017) found different structure of genitalia for specimens in genera Napata, Uranophora and Metriophyla. Therefore resurrecting Metriophyla from previous synonymy, and keeping Uranophora and Napata separate, and establishing a new genus Flammeus. A list of species included in Uranophora is provided in Cerda (2017: 134). The majority of species remain in Napata genus, until more detailed study of genitalia.
