Abstract

The following new taxa of Eucinetidae with semisuctorial and suctorial mouthparts are described: Bisayodes Wakimura & Jałoszyński gen. n., Bisayodes hure Wakimura & Jałoszyński, sp. n. (Hokkaidô, Japan), and Tohlezkus uminchu Jałoszyński, sp. n. (Okinawa-jima, Japan). New records are given for Tohlezkus rufus (M. Sakai) (Honshȗ, Shikoku and Kyûshû, Japan) and Tohlezkus orientalis Vít (Taiwan); the aedeagus for the latter species is illustrated for the first time. Identification keys to extant world genera of Eucinetidae and for species of Tohlezkus are given.
