Thirty-four species in 23 genera are listed, and information on their hosts and distribution is provided. Mesopolobus auditor Dzhanokmen, 1975 is treated here as a subspecies Mesopolobus diffinis auditor Dzhanokmen, 1975, stat. rev. The subspecies is known so far only from the desert and semi-desert areas of Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
