The genera Alveolacupes Lin, 1983, Clathropenna Fujiyama, 1973 and Penecupes Ren, 1995 were previously placed in the family by some authors, but were all excluded from it by Kirejtshuk (2020). The genera Wuchangia Hong, 1985 and Yuxianocoleus Hong, 1985, both from the Lower Jurassic of Hubei, China, were also excluded from the family by Zhao et al. (2021) (as the subfamily Taldycupedinae).[2]
