Genus Himatolabus Jekel View in CoL
Type species. Attelabus vestitus Gyllenhal, 1839 View in CoL , designated by Voss (1925).

Himatolabus View in CoL belongs to the genus group Attelabina, which also includes Attelabus Linnaeus, Homeolabus Jekel View in CoL , Xestolabus Jekel View in CoL , Omolabus Jekel View in CoL , Temnocerus Thungberg View in CoL , and Phyletobius Voss.
