Genera

Jensen (1996)[2] listed three genera Aplysiopsis, Hermaea and Hermaeopsis A. Costa, 1869, which has been synonymized with genus Hermaea.

Jensen (2007)[3] listed two valid genera in the family Hermaeidae:

Other invalid species within family Hermaeidae include:[3]

  • Physopneumon carneum A. Costa, 1862
gollark: Oh. Maybe your coordinates were just wrong.
gollark: Yes, there are definitely some observation drones nearby, and what seems like some sort of LyricTech™ carrier ship.
gollark: We have instantaneous communication to all facilities, yes.
gollark: It is. The signs clearly say so.
gollark: I mean, it isn't *most* of the time, and isn't now.
