Genera in the family or subfamily Uranoscopidae: [ 19 ] records

Agnus Günther [A.] 1860:229 Masc. Uranoscopus anoplos Valenciennes 1832. Type by monotypy. Objectively invalid; preoccupied by Agnus Burmeister 1847 in Coleoptera. •Synonym of Astroscopus Brevoort 1860 -- (Mees 1960:47 [ref. 11931], Pietsch 1989:297 [ref. 12541], Vilasri 2013:87 [ref. 33304]). 1°Homonym.

Anema Günther [A.] 1860:226, 230 Neut. Uranoscopus lebeck Bloch & Schneider 1801. Type by subsequent designation.
