Hardybodes minutus n. sp. differs from all species of the genus by the localization of notogastral setae (lm and h2 inserted in the same longitudinal rowdorsocentrally together with da, dm, dp, lp and h1 versus lm and h2 in dorsolateral positions and da, dm, dp, lp and h1 inserted in dorsocentral positions in the other species). Revised generic diagnosis and an identification key to the four known species of Hardybodes are presented. ER -
