Notes.

A rather small Palaearctic and Oriental genus, of which the biology is unknown. Wharton (2002) included it in his generic key for Australia, suggesting its occurrence in the Australasian region. Hylcalosia species show several apomorphic character states within the Bobekia -group, as expressed by the shape of the clypeus, mandible (especially in the type species; Fig. 74 ), and metasoma (more or less carapace-like; Fig. 78 ). Identification keys to species were given by Zhu et al. (2018) and Yao et al. (2019).
