The named genera and their type species are: Allanalges Trouessart, 1886, A. podagricus (Trouessart), 1886; Calcealges Gaud, 1952, C. cyathoplax Gaud, 1952; Hemicalcealges Gaud and Mouchet, 1957, H. margaropygus (Gaud and Mouchet), 1957; Pseudalges Radford, 1950, Proctophyllodes (Pterocolus) analgoides Trouessart, 1885; and Trouessartia Canestrini, 1899, Dermaleichus corvinus Koch, 1840. New genera and their type species are: Arthrogynalges, A. biovoidatus, new species; Bicentralges, B. orientalis, new species; Neocalcealges, N. inattditus, new species; and Uniscutalges, Proctophyllodes (Pterocolus) elegans Trouessart, 1886. Nineteen named and twenty.nine new species are recognized.
