Clessidromma is an extinct genus of ommatid beetle. The genus was first described in 2017 for the species. C. palmeri.[1] In 2019, another species, C. tianae was described, which was initially assigned to the new genus Lepidomma.[2] Lepidomma was synonymised with Clessidromma by Kirejtshuk, 2020, who described a third species, C. zengi.[3] C. zengi was moved to the separate genus Kirejtomma in 2021.[4] Both currently assigned species are known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber of Myanmar.
