Abstract The genus Hyperstylus Roelofs is synonymized under Myllocerus Schoenherr. The femoral dentation character exhibits variations and cannot be used to separate the two. The six species described under Hyperstylus (chloris, cinereus, hispidulus, lineatus, pallipes and plebeius) are transferred to Myllocerus, making new combinations. In addition, three new species, viz., Myllocerus bhutanensis Nathan (from Bhutan), richardi Nathan (from India, Nepal and Pakistan) and susainathani Nathan (from India) are described.
