Status of subgenera established for Euconnus Thomson with three-segmented antennal club is clarified. Examination of the type species of Psomophus Casey, Spanioconnus Ganglbauer, Scydmaenites Croissandeau and Xestophus Casey led to the conclusion that differences in morphological structures between all these taxa are minor and represent character variability within one subgenus. Consequently, Spanioconnus is maintained as a junior synonym of Psomophus; Scydmaenites is synonymized with Psomophus; and Xestophus, already placed as a junior synonym of Psomophus by Franz and later resurrected by O'Keefe, is again synonymized with Psomophus. Based on small morphological differences (visible only in the antennal structure), it is suggested that in future Psomophus may be placed as a junior synonym of Euconnus s. str. An emended diagnosis of Psomophus is given, and lectotypes are designated for Euconnus callidus Casey, Euconnus kraatzi Reitter and Scydmaenus salinator LeConte.
对建立的具有三节触角棒的真隐翅虫属亚属的状况进行了澄清。对凯西拟隐翅虫、冈布尔西班牙隐翅虫、克罗伊桑多隐翅虫属和凯西尖隐翅虫的模式种进行研究后得出结论，所有这些分类单元之间的形态结构差异很小，代表了一个亚属内的特征变异性。因此，西班牙隐翅虫被保留为拟隐翅虫的次同物异名；隐翅虫属与拟隐翅虫同义；而尖隐翅虫，已被弗朗茨列为拟隐翅虫的次同物异名，后来被奥基夫重新启用，再次与拟隐翅虫同义。基于微小的形态差异（仅在触角结构中可见），建议未来拟隐翅虫可能被列为狭义真隐翅虫的次同物异名。给出了拟隐翅虫的修订诊断，并为凯西丽真隐翅虫、雷特克拉茨真隐翅虫和勒孔特盐沼隐翅虫指定了选模。
