Summary

The classification of the genera Plaesiacomia Hawle & Corda, 1847, Kerfornella Henry, 1976, Colpocoryphe Novák in Perner, 1918, Salterocoryphe Hammann, 1977 and Neseuretus Hicks, 1873, is discussed. Plaesiacomia and Kerfornella are attributed to the Homalonotidae (sub family Kerfornellinae nov.), while Colpocoryphe, Salterocoryphe, and Neseuretus are regarded as belonging to the Calymenidae. The author's opinion is mainly based on the morphology and evolution of the coaptative devices, and on the morphology of the hypostoma.
