Ilyocryptus spinifer
Herrick, 1882
. Uncommon in Sabah, found in one pond, one stream and in a paddy field. Benthic species, associated with muddy or clay bottom. For detailed description see
Kotov & Dumont (2000)
. The species is cosmopolitan, no evidence of non-cosmopolitanism has been found (
Kotov & Dumont 2000

Ilyocryptus yooni
Jeong, Kotov & Lee, 2012
. Single specimen (
Fig. 1
A–D) was found in a small stream (loc. 25), co-occuring with
I. spinifer
.
I. yooni
belongs to the
agilis
-line sensu
Kotov & Elías-Gutiérrez (2009)
, which is characterized by at least a short distance between proximalmost lateral seta and anus, short spinules at the base of ventral margin of the postabdominal claw, and posterior setae of valves with additional spines (

I. agilis
and
I. isanensis
,
by the absence of any spinules between bases of teeth of preanal margin of postabdomen (
