Subfamily Ephutinae so far have been described four genera: Ephuamelia, Ephucaya, Ephusuarezia and Ephuta. The genus Ephuta is present from the USA to Patagonia and is known for both sexes; of the other 3 genera present in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay are known only the males. Even the new genus Onoretilla is known only for a series of males being the female unknown.
