AB  - Species in the family Telothelepodidae are divided among four genera, two of which are monotypic, following a recent phylogenetic study of the family based on morphological characters. This division is as follows: the genera <i>Telothelepus</i> and <i>Mesopothelepus</i> are both monotypic; <i>Rhinothelepus</i> has five species, including <i>R. bifurcatum</i> sp. nov., described herein, and <i>Parathelepus</i> has eight species, including <i>P. praecox</i> sp. nov. and <i>P. scutatum</i> sp. nov., both also described herein. We provide definitions and descriptions of these four genera and 15 species of Telothelepodidae, the most diagnostic generic and specific characters are discussed and a key for the identifications of members of all known species in this family is given.
