Hybothecus Chaudoir, 1874b: 3. Type species: Hybothecus incrassatus Chaudoir, 1874 by monotypy. Etymology. From the Greek hybos (hump) and thece (case, container), possibly alluding to the markedly convex elytra (" remarquable par la forte convexité des élytres ") of the adult [masculine].
Ophryogaster Chaudoir, 1878: 59. Type species: Feronia anomala Chaudoir, 1878 designated by Straneo (1977: 115). Synonymy established by Lorenz (2005: 261) based on a communication of Will (Kiplin W. Will pers. comm. 2007). Etymology. From the Greek ophryos (brow) and gaster (stomach, by extension abdomen), probably alluding to the transverse furrow on the last three visible abdominal sterna (" profond sillon transversal, qui longe le bord antérieur des 3 derniers segments de l’abdomen ") of the adult [feminine].
Incastichus Moret, 1997: 304. Type species: Incastichus aequidianus Moret, 1997 by original designation. Synonymy established by Lorenz (2005: 261). Etymology. From Inca (the South American Indian peoples) and the Greek stichos (line, row) [masculine].
