Genera of Hemipeplinae
Historically, there have been only two genera in Hemipeplinae viz. Hemipeplus Latreille, 1829 and Holopeplus Arrow, 1930 . The type species for Hemipeplus is H. hemipterus by subsequent monotypy while the type species for Holopeplus is H. cubensis by original monotypy. Hemipeplus is the most speciose genus and is cosmopolitan, but Holopeplus is monotypic and only documented from the Greater Antilles. In this study, a third genus Eurypeplus KC & Pollock , gen. nov., is described from Africa ( Madagascar), which is monotypic, with E. quadrimaculatus KC & Pollock , sp. nov., being its type species.
