The Genera & subGenera are
sensu TownesTylopius =
Peltastes--------
According to the drawings of
Townes 1959, it seems that the distinction of the species, in each Genera and subGenera, can be made in the following way :
Chorinaeus : colouring of Face
Exochus : Propodeum and Mandibles
Metopius (inclusive subGenera) : dorsal colouring of Abdomen
Triclistus : Propodeum
Trieces : colouring of Face and Metapleurum
