Genus Hyperglomeris Silvestri, 1917

Type species. Hyperglomeris lamellosa Silvestri, 1917: 146 , by original designation.

Remarks. The Vietnamese endemic genus Hyperglomeris Silvestri, 1917 is restricted to northern Vietnam, with seven species. All Hyperglomeris species are known exclusively from their type localities, and the distribution of the genus is still poorly known. There are no species that have been recorded in central and southern parts of the country. The genus is very similar to Peplomeris in having only prefemoral trichosteles, and femoral trichosteles strongly reduced or absent on telopods. Hyperglomeris differs from Peplomeris by having antennae with four large, apical sensory cones.

A key to identify Hyperglomeris species was recently provided by Golovatch (2017).
