Ambrysus View in CoL has been organized into five subgenera ( La Rivers 1965, Nieser et al. 1999). Most species are in the nominate subgenus; Melloiella comprises two species in Brazil; Syncollus includes 11 species and recently was reviewed by Reynoso-Velasco et al. (2016); Acyttarus is monotypic and occurs in Death Valley, California ( La Rivers 1949, Whiteman & Sites 2008); and Picrops View in CoL is monotypic ( La Rivers 1952), distributed in the Neotropics, and is elevated to genus rank herein (see below).
