Typus subgeneris. Hygrobates inflatipes sp. nov.
Remarks
The new subgenus differs from Hygrobates s.s. in the unusual modified first leg of the male: I-leg-5 is swollen in distal half, with two long, heavy setae and many fine setae. Moreover, in most Hygrobates species the glandularia of the fourth coxal plates are located near the suture line of the third and fourth coxal plates, while it is located more near the middle of the fourth coxal plates in the new species. Females are without subgeneric characters.
