The stars in the Bright Star Catalogue with β = 2.70 - 2.88 (Te ≡ 6700 - 8100K, spectral type A4 to F1) contain 127 members of the Hyades Supercluster, chosen on the basis of the direction of their proper motion. The available radial velocities confirm supercluster membership, within their uncertainty, for most of these stars. The older stars with β > 2.5 mag are Am and/or ultrashort-period Cepheids (USPC) with only a half-dozen exceptions, whereas in the younger population the Am stars and USPC represent only some 25% of the sample. Outside the center of the Hyades cluster, the largest concentration of supercluster stars is in a region of 30 pc radius between 60 and 80 pc above the Sun, where 30% of the expected stars in the temperature range discussed here are supercluster members.
