- †Galloromma agapa[3] from Taimyr amber, Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian)
- †Galloromma alavaensis[4] from the Escucha Formation, Early Cretaceous (Albian)
- †Galloromma bezonnaisensis[5] from Bezonnais amber, France, Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian)
- †Galloromma kachinensis[2] from Burmese amber, mid Cretaceous (latest Albian-earliest Cenomanian)
- †Cretaceomma[6]
- †Cretaceomma libanensis from Lebanese amber, Early Cretaceous (Barremian)
- †Cretaceomma turolensis also from the Eschucha Formation.
