TYPE
SPECIES
:

Fabricius, 1805
, by subsequent designation (
Dallas, 1866: 649
).
CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [
teste
Evenhuis & Greathead (1999: 399)
].
FAMILY:
BOMBYLIIDAE
.
REMARKS: Originally proposed as a subgenus of
Exoprosopa
Macquart, 1840
. The species-group name “
hymalajensis
” was originally included (on page 57) but was never described, so is unavailable.
Costa
(1866: 37)
listed a “
Hyperalonia hymalajensis
Macquart
” among the Rondani collection in Naples, so a specimen existed at one time with this determination label.
