Hyperplatys Haldeman, 1847

Hyperplatys has eleven species currently assigned to the genus. All are distributed in the Western Hemisphere: six in the Neotropical region and five in North America (Monné 2018; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2017). Previous studies of this genus (Dillon 1956; Horn 1880; Linsley & Chemsak 1995), which included only the fauna of North America, compared Hyperplatys to Lepturges Bates, 1863, differentiating the former principally by the prosternal process broader, and elytra with distinct lateral carina.
