Hybopteroides gen. nov., with three new species in the Cryptobatida group of subtribe Agrina, Lebiini, living in the lowland rain forest canopy of Ecuador and Peru are diagnosed, described and illustrated. The new genus is likely the adelphotaxon of Hyboptera Chaudoir 1872 + Thoasia Liebke 1939. Hybopteroides biolat sp. nov., the type species, is now known from the Rio Manu watershed in Peru; Hybopteroides karolynae sp. nov. is now known from the Rio Tambopata watershed in Peru; and Hybopteroides penrosei sp. nov. is now known from the upper and mid Rio Napo watershed in Ecuador. The species of this new genus are known from insecticidal fogging collections from the rainforest canopy and upper understory and from two specimens collected by E. S. Ross at his ecotourism lodge at Alinahui, Ecuador, found in his live embiid colonies.
