Abstract
Three new Anoplodesmus species are described from northern Vietnam, namely A. lobus sp. nov. , A. bilobus sp. nov. , and A. gladius sp. nov. All three species belong to the A. elongissimus group, showing the relatively to extremely long gonopod solenophore. The phylogenetic relationships among Anoplodesmus species and other sulciferinin genera are also discussed.
