First sentence: The genus Aponedyopus Verhoeff, 1939 was first proposed to incorporate the single species A. montanus Verhoeff, 1939 said to be from the foot of Mt Fuji in Japan. The generic diagnosis was very poor, relying on a highly superficial resemblance in the gonopod conformation of Aponedyopus to the genus Nedyopus Attems, 1914 (Verhoeff, 1939). Takakuwa (1942) was the first to add another species to this genus, A. maculatus Takakuwa, 1942 from Taiwan, and, later (1954), questioned the provenance of A. montanus from Honshu, suggesting it had also derived from Taiwan.
