Eutrichodesmus, the largest genus in the Oriental family Haplodesmidae, is reviewed and shown to encompass 24 recognizable species, all keyed, including the following nine new species: E regularis sp. n., E aster sp. n., E. filisetiger sp. n., E. curticornis sp. n., E asteroides sp. n. and E griseus sp. n. from Vietnam, E. distinctus sp. n. from China, E multilobatus sp. n. from Laos, and E. reductus sp. n. from Sulawesi, Indonesia. This genus is slightly redefined as follows: Gonopod coxae usually abundantly setose ventrolaterally; telopodite usually slender, not enlarged towards end of femorite, but typically with a more or less distinct process or outgrowth laterally, opposite recurvature point of seminal groove; solenomere thereafter usually comprising most of telopodite, sometimes elaborate; seminal groove normally terminating distally to subapically, with or without a hairpad; acropodite normally small to nearly absent.
