Species. Lamprops beringi Calman, 1912 , L. fasciatus Sars, 1863 , L. fuscatus Sars, 1865 , L. korroensis Derzhavin, 1926 , L. northwindae n. sp., L. pumilio Zimmer, 1937 , L. sarsi Derzhavin, 1926 .

Type species Lamprops fasciatus Sars, 1863 , by monotypy.

Remarks. The original conception of this genus by Sars included species only with a clasping antennal flagellum in the adult male, thus all the species with a long, non–clasping flagellum in the male, and those species with unknown males, have been removed to Alamprops .
