The subgenus Tivarbus Stål of Hyalymenus Amyot and Serville is problematic. Torre-Bueno (1939) revised Hyalymenus subgenus Tivarbus , and provided descriptions and an identification key; however, Torre-Bueno’s (1939) key is based on morphometric characters that are not reliable. Schaffner (1964) also came to the conclusion that the subgenus needs reworking. Torre-Bueno listed three Florida species in the subgenus (Appendix 1), but, it is not known whether these names represent one variable species or several species. Clearly, the genus is in need of revision.
