Genus Gymnopternus Loew, 1857

NOTES. Until 2005 the genus had long been supposed to be a synonym of Hercostomus in Russian literature with none reported species from the Russian Far East. Negrobov et al. [2016] transferred Hercostomus ussurianus Stackelberg, 1933 to Gymnopternus . Two species of the same genus are transferred to Gymnopternus below. At least two more different species are found in ZMUM collection from the South of the Primorsky Territory; these species need further study. More than forty species are known from China.
