Of the genera of Ilyperides vrais, Capiomont gives the following synoptical 
table (/. c. pp. 474-475) 
I. Antennae subterminal j rostrum clearly canaliculate above throughout 
its length 1. Alophus (Schonh.). 
II. Antennae submedian or median; rostrum never canaliculate above 
throughout. 
A. Rostrum somewhat suddenly dilated at extremity ; pterygia slightly 
indicated 2. Lepidophorus (Kirby). 
B. Rostrum never suddenly dilated at extremity ; no pterygia. 
1. Branches of mesothoracic epimera forming at their union a very 
open angle. 
a. Joints of posterior tarsi compressed, fringed at the edges, not 
spongy beneath 3. Mac7'otarsiis (Schonh.). 
h. Joints of posterior tarsi never compressed, always spongy beneath. 
* Eyes rounded, scape of antennae pas.sing their upper margin. 
4. Buhalocephalus, g. n. 
t Eyes oval or oblong, scape of antennae never attaining their 
upper margin 5. Hype^'a (Germ.). 
2. Branches of mesotlioracic epimera forming at their union nearly a 
right angle. 
a. Eyes oval or oblong. 
* Funiculus of 7 joints 6. Phytonoinus (Schonh.). 
t Funiculus of 6 joints 7. (Schonh.).

The genus Alophus is considered by Capiomont to belong rather to the 
Barynotides ; its species are not described by him. Phytonoimis he thinks 
rather an unnatural assemblage ; and Hypei'a (the last here treated in detail) 
is divided by him into 4 subgenera, which he names Pachypei'a, llypera 
(prop.), Brachypera^ and Pseudhypera. The plates (11 & 12) accompanying 
this memoir contain details of the various genera.
