The rove beetle genus Hypotelus Erichson, 1839 is one of seven extant genera of a subfamily with a historically misinterpreted concept, status and phylogenetic position. The genus comprises minute species that have been found under the bark of trees or in leaf litter mainly in Neotropical forests. The major aim of this study was to test the monophyly of this genus based on adult morphology and to review its species. Cladistic analyses were performed and Hypotelus is a monophyletic genus supported by 8 synapomorphies and includes five new species: H. brevitarsus sp. nov., H. castaneus sp. nov., H. corniculatus sp. nov., H. melanodelta sp. nov. and H. scheerpeltzi sp. nov. Additionally, all species are described/redescribed and illustrated, most of them for the first time. An identification key, geographical records and natural history data for each species are also provided.
隐翅虫属Hypotelus Erichson，1839年，是一个亚科中现存的七个属之一，该亚科在历史上其概念、地位和系统发育位置一直被误解。该属包含微小的物种，主要在新热带森林的树皮或落叶层中被发现。本研究的主要目的是基于成虫形态来检验该属的单系性，并对其物种进行综述。进行了分支分析，结果表明Hypotelus是一个单系属，有8个共衍征支持，包括五个新物种：短跗隐翅虫新种H. brevitarsus sp. nov.、栗色隐翅虫新种H. castaneus sp. nov.、角状隐翅虫新种H. corniculatus sp. nov.、黑三角隐翅虫新种H. melanodelta sp. nov.和舍尔佩尔茨隐翅虫新种H. scheerpeltzi sp. nov.。此外，对所有物种进行了描述/重新描述并配图，其中大多数是首次进行。还提供了每个物种的鉴定检索表、地理记录和自然历史数据。
