Abstract

The genus Tobrilus (Bastian 1865) includes 15 valid species, not counting the endemics of Lake Baikal. These species are subdivided into three groups: “classic” (species described not later than in the first third of the XX century), “new” and Baikal endemics. “Classic” and “new” are closely related through differential diagnosis. The identification of “new” species is difficult. This article provides identification keys for these species presented separately for females and males.
