Prodorsal condyles interlocking medially.................................................Genus Leobodes Aoki, 1965... 2 - Prodorsal condyles well separated from each other...............................Genus Nippobodes Aoki, 1959... 7 2. Prodorsal condyles forming large ring anterior to interlocking region....................................................... 3 - Prodorsal condyles not forming ring anterior to interlocking region......................................................... 4 3. Prodorsal ring heart-shaped; setae c not forked; setae ro inserted laterally. 663–745 X 408–485 Μm............ ................................................................................................................................ L. annulatus Aoki, 1965 - Prodorsal ring elliptical; setae c forked; setae ro inserted dorsally. 628 X 430 Μm ......... L. yinae Aoki, 2000 4. Prodorsal condyles slender and transverse ridge-like; notogastral setae short and slightly swollen distally; setae c straight; body relatively large. 850–875 X 550–590 Μm ........................... L. lijiangensis Aoki, 2000 - Prodorsal condyles thick and massive; notogastral setae long and pointed; setae c curved; body relatively small (body length under 700 Μm)............................................................................................................... 5 5. Distance between intersections of inner margins of prodosal and humeral condyles clearly shorter than vertical distance between intersection of posterior margins of prodorsal condyles and anterior margin of notogaster. 540–582 X 376–412 Μm .......................................................................... L. mirabilis Aoki, 1965 - Distance between intersections of inner margins of prodorsal and humeral condyles distinctly longer than vertical distance between intersection of posterior margins of prodorsal condyles and anterior margin of notogaster..................................................................................................................................................... 6 6. Anterior margin of prodorsal condyles arched; prodorsal setae smooth, arched transverse ridge connecting insertions of le indented medially; notogaster with distinct irregular longitudinal ridges. 645 X 450 Μm......................................................................................................................................... L. carinatus sp. nov. - Anterior margin of prodorsal condyles concave medially, almost U-shaped; prodorsal setae ro, le and in slightly barbed distally, arched transverse ridge connecting insertions of le without indentation; surface of notogaster smooth. 665 X 420 Μm .......................................................................... L. praeconcavus sp. nov. 7. Notogastral setae 8 pairs, setae h 2 and p 2 absent. 748–824 X 496–568 Μm ........... N. chejuensis Choi, 1996 - Notogastral setae 9 or 10 pairs, setae h 2 and p 2 present............................................................................... 8 8.

N. latus (Aoki, 1970) - Notogastral setae 10 pairs, seta c present.................................................................................................... 9 9. Notogastral setae relatively long (RLN* 40–65, seta lm of N. monstruosus excluded), flagellate (except seta la straight and acuminate).................................................................................................................. 10 - Notogastral setae relatively short (RLN under 40), not curved or flagellate, seta la subequal in shape and length to other notogastral setae................................................................................................................ 11 10. Tip of tutorium blunt; seta lm long, flagellate; seta ad 3 relatively short. 540–665 X 375–515 Μm............... ..................................................................................................................................... N. flagellifer sp. nov. - Tutorium concave anteriorly, with small lateral tooth; seta lm very short; seta ad 3 extremely small. 542– 669 X 398–536 Μm ............................................................................... N. monstruosus (Jeleva et Vu, 1987) 11. Seate le, in and notogastral setae (c excluded) smooth basally, strongly barbed distally; notogaster ornamented with small tubercles. 595–730 X 380–495 Μm............................................ N. peniculatus sp. nov. - Setae le, in and notogastral setae either completely smooth or barbed..................................................... 12 12. Notogastral setae la, lm, lp, h 1, and h 2 barbed, weakly broadened distally................................................ 13 - Notogastral setae la, lm, lp, h 1, and h 2 smooth, or slightly barbed, never broadened distally.................. 14 13. Prodorsal condyles separated, but each with median extension**; seta c twisted twice; other notogastral setae 10–20 in RLN. 515–655 X 340–438 Μm ..................................................... N. yuwanensis Aoki, 1981 - Prodorsal condyles clearly separated from each other; seta c simple, not twisted; other notogastral setae 6– 14 in RLN. 610–615 X 420–425 Μm .................................................................... N. tokaraensis Aoki, 1989 14. Notogastral setae rather long (RLN> 15)................................................................................................. 15 - Notogastral setae short (RLN <12)........................................................................................................... 16 15. Bothridial seta expanded distally, rather short; notogastral setae smooth. 630–720 X 470–490 Μm............. .................................................................................................................................. N. insolitus Aoki, 1959 - Bothridial seta slightly expanded medially, and then attenuate; notogastral setae slightly barbed. 655–690 X 448–485 Μm ........................................................................................................
