A key is presented for identification of the species. Agaporomorphus inaciculatus Guignot is transferred to the genus Hydrodytes Miller, new combination. Male and female genitalia and other taxonomically important features are illustrated. A phylogenetic analysis of the genus is presented. © 2001 Entomological Society of America.
