Genus Leptogamasus Trägårdh, 1936 sensu Juvara-Balş, 1981

Type species Leptogamasus suecicus Trägårdh, 1936: 227 .

The original genus Leptogamasus Trägårdh, 1936 was modified by Athias­Henriot (1971)

who defined two subgenera within Tomeogamasus it: Athias­Henriot, 1971 and Ernogamasus Athias­Henriot, 1971 . Both subgenera, along with the third Leptogamasus one, s. str.,

were subsequently raised to the genus level by Juvara­Balş (1981). In the same paper Juvara­Balş divided genus Leptogamasus s. str. into three subgenera, i.e. Breviperigamasus, Holoperigamasus and Leptogamasus s. str. Recently, the fourth subgenus Medioperigamasus was defined ( Witaliński, 2019).
