Cymbalophora rivularis is a moth of the family Erebidae first described by Édouard Ménétries in 1832. It is found in central Italy, the Balkan Peninsula, western Iran, Dagestan, Armenia and western Azerbaijan.[2][3]
These species can be easily distinguished as C. rivularis because they are smaller and have a yellowish abdomen, and exhibits three black spots on the inferior margin of their forewings. Furthermore, the female is brachypterous, whilst the female of the congeneric species, Cymbalophora pudica, is fully winged.[4]
