  - Fixation: monotypy [check this]
- Authority for synonymy: Hayashi, 1961: 55 ('syn. nov.')

- Type species: Poecilippe stictica Bates, 1874
  - Fixation: monotypy

- Reason for rejection: Poecilippe is treated as a synonym of Hybolasius by Kuschel (1990: 67), implied by treating the type species as Hybolasius sticticus. Note also that the type species of Poecilippe was incorrectly cited as Poecilippe simplex Bates, 1874 by Hayashi (1961: 55)
