As Pešić et al. (2010) noted the variability of additional populations tentatively assigned to Hydrodroma rheophila (e.g. from Greece and Oman, see Pešić et al. 2010 and Smit and Pešić 2010, respectively) from different regions of the whole distribution area needs to be examined to clarify the taxonomy. This probably will require the use of molecular approach to examine the degree of genetic differentiation among the geographical populations.</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>India, Indonesia, Iran, Oman, Balkan.

This species closely resembles to Sperchon cornutus K. Viets, 1935, which can be easily distinguished by the claws bearing two clawlets instead of a claw with one clawlet in Sperchon cornutoides. Sperchon xiaoqikongensis Zhang &amp; Jin, 2012, a species recently described from mainland China (Guizhou Province, Zhang et al. 2012) resemble the both aforementioned species due to shape of palp and capitulum. According to the original description (Zhang et al. 2012) this species differs from Sperchon cornutoides in the absence of muscle attachment plates, shorter peg-like seta on P-2 ventral projection and the presence of peg-like setae on P-2 and P-3 (as shown by figure of Zhang et al. 2012, Fig. 18). It is possible, especially in the case of weakly sclerotized specimens or due the clearing treatment with lactic acid, that muscle attachment plates could easily have been unobserved. The taxonomic state and relationships of this species should be investigated with further specimens from the type area.</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Indonesia.

In shape of coxal (Fig. 7A) and genital field (Figs 7B, D) and palp (Fig. 7C), no differences can be found to differentiate the specimens from Taiwan. Two additional species closely related to Hygrobates longiporus are described from Oriental part of China (Jin 1997), Hygrobates neolongiporus Jin 1997 (Guangxi, Guizhou) and Hygrobates corimarginatus Jin 1997 (Yunnan). According to the original description (Jin 1997), Hygrobates neolongiporus differs from Hygrobates longiporus in Cx-IV medial margins more closely approached to each other, more elongated Ac-3 and the triangular genital sclerites; Hygrobates corimarginatus differs in having a fewer denticles on the ventral side of P-2 and P-3 and genital field with more extended border of secondary sclerotization. However, all these characters are probably individually variable, and should be investigated with further specimens from the type area. For the time being, the populations from Taiwan are provisionally assigned to Hygrobates longiporus. However, for a judgement on the taxonomic state, the diagnostic features and taxonomic relationship of the Asian species of ‘longiporus’ species group require further revision.</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Palaearctic.

Viets, 1935). A problem exists regarding the similarity between Atractides spatiosus and Atractides cognatus (K. Viets, 1935), a further taxon originally introduced as a subspecies and later elevated to species rank by Pešić and Smit (2009). However, the populations attributed by Pešić and Smit (2009) to Atractides cognatus differ from the original description of the later (see: K. Viets 1935) in the shape of excretory pore (surrounded by narrow sclerotized ring in original description of Atractides cognatus), and probably represented an undescribed species. For the time being, the sclerotization of the excretory pore (smooth in Atractides spatiosus vs. sclerotized in Atractides cognatus, as shown in Fig. 9D), more elongated P-3 (compare Figs 9A and -B) and the shape of I-L-5 and -6 (compare Figs 10A and -B) appear to be the characteristics most important for distin guishing populations attributed to Atractides spatiosus and Atractides cognatus, respectively. However, our assignments to Atractides spatiosus and Atractides cognatus are difficult due to the lacking of males, and furthermore is based mainly on non-identity with alternative species.</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>SE Asia.
