The genus Campodea is divided into five subgenera: Campodea s. str. Silvestri, 1932, Dicampa Silvestri, 1932, Indocampa Silvestri, 1933, Monocampa Silvestri, 1932 and Paurocampa Silvestri, 1932. The monotypic subgenus Hypercampa Silvestri, 1933, with Campodea (Hypercampa) essigi Silvestri, 1933 from California (USA), is excluded from the genus Campodea due to its thick and barbed telotarsal process. Distribution. Although they are distributed all over the world, the majority of species have been described in the Holarctic realm (Condé 1956).
