There are several well-defined species-groups, some of which may deserve subgeneric status. It is possible that Kieffer's names Trichotepyris and Chlorepyris may eventually be revived as subgenera, but pending further study of this genus they are best considered synonyms. A number of other genera of Epy- rinae tie in closely to Rhabdcpyris and may have evolved from it. For example, there is no wide gap

There are several well-defined species-groups, some of which may deserve subgeneric status.

A number of other genera of Epy- rinae tie in closely to Rhabdcpyris and may have evolved from it. For example, there is no wide gap between B. megacephalus and some of the species of Anisepyris; "Chlorepyris" appears to represent a stock evolving in the direction of Epyris; and several small, smooth-eyed but strongly setose species suggest Bhabdepyris megacephalus (Ashmead).
