The genera Alveolacupes , Clathropenna and Penecupes were previously placed in the family by some authors, but were all excluded from it by Kirejtshuk (2020). The genera Wuchangia and Yuxianocoleus , both from the Lower Jurassic of Hubei, China, were also excluded from the family by Zhao et al. (2021) (as the subfamily Taldycupedinae).
