Type-species: Oresbius castaneus Marshall. Monotypic. 

 Opidnus Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 185. 



Type-species: Aptesis (Pezoporus) tsugae Cushman. Included and desig. by Townes

Townes (1970) said that this large Holarctic genus has the most northerly distribution of any 

 aptesine genus. He said that about half of the arctic species have brachypterous females, which 

 contributes to their scarcity in collections.
