A few hydrogen-deficient B stars (or extreme helium stars: EHes) exhibit Be-type behaviour (the HdBe stars). The principal class members are BD −9°4395, LSE 78 and DY Cen. The hot RCrB stars MV Sgr and V348 Sgr and the hot EHes HD 160641 and LSS 5121 are related to these objects. Since there are wide abundance variations amongst the EHes, as well as wide variations in Be-type behaviour, the principal HdBes have been analysed for atmospheric parameters, including Teff, log g and composition.
