In Russia and the adjacent territories, the genus Hephathus includes three species, H. nanus (Herrich-Schäffer, 1835), H. freyi (Fieber, 1868) = H. tshakaranus Dlabola, 1957, syn. n., and H. achilleae Mityaev, 1967. They are indistinguishable in genitalia shape, but differ in male calling signal structure and black pattern of face. Photos of habitus and face, drawings of genitalia and male 2(nd) abdominal apodemes, signal oscillograms, and distribution maps for all species are provided. H. orientalis Linnavuori, 1953 is indistinguishable from H. freyi in coloration and genitalia shape; therefore, investigation of male calling signals is necessary for elucidation of its status. Macropsis fergusoni Evans, 1942 from Tasmania and Asmaropsis troilos Linnavuori, 1978 from Eritrea differ from Palaearctic Hephathus in the shape of head, pro-, and mesonotum and apparently belong to other genera.
在俄罗斯及相邻地区,赫法图斯属包含三个物种,即矮小赫法图斯(Hephathus nanus,(赫里希 - 谢弗,1835年))、弗雷氏赫法图斯(H. freyi,(菲贝尔,1868年) = 察卡兰赫法图斯(H. tshakaranus),德拉博拉,1957年,同义名,新组合),以及阿基利亚赫法图斯(H. achilleae,米季耶夫,1967年)。它们在生殖器形状上难以区分,但在雄性求偶信号结构和面部黑色斑纹方面存在差异。文中提供了所有物种的整体形态和面部照片、生殖器及雄性第二腹节腹突的绘图、信号波形图以及分布图。1953年的东方赫法图斯(H. orientalis,林纳武奥里)在体色和生殖器形状上与弗雷氏赫法图斯难以区分;因此,有必要对雄性求偶信号进行研究以明确其分类地位。1942年来自塔斯马尼亚的弗格森巨盲蝽(Macropsis fergusoni,埃文斯)和1978年来自厄立特里亚的特罗伊洛斯阿斯马盲蝽(Asmaropsis troilos,林纳武奥里)在头部、前胸和中胸背板形状上与古北区的赫法图斯不同,显然属于其他属。
