The taxonomy of the genus Vejdovský, 1882 is reviewed. New morphological information on (Vejdovský, 1882), the type species of the genus, is provided, and a new reference material is presented. The generic diagnosis is emended with details derived from the developmental trajectory of the valves, from the juvenile stage A-3 to the adult. Those criteria clearly differentiate from the related genus Kaufmann, 1900. As here redefined, is a phylogentic lineage of the subfamily Candoninae containing extant species presently living in aquatic subterranean habitats and fossil species recovered from non-marine Late Palaeogene to Neogene and Quaternary deposits in Europe and western Asia. The type species of is considered a metaspecies, taxonomically treated as (), which includes populations resembling the newly designated reference material. The homeomorphic triangular valve shape of the Candoninae is discussed. Careful examination of the valve morphology of combined with the analysis of limb traits helps to distinguish representatives of this genus from unrelated phylogenetic groups presenting similar triangularly shaped valves. It is emphasised that for a useful description of taxa both transmitted light and scanning electron microscopy are necessary.
对1882年的韦伊多夫斯基属分类进行了综述。提供了关于该属模式种（韦伊多夫斯基，1882）的新形态学信息，并展示了新的参考材料。根据瓣膜从幼体A - 3阶段到成体的发育轨迹得出的细节，对该属的诊断进行了修订。这些标准清楚地将其与相关的考夫曼属（1900）区分开来。按照这里重新定义的，是坎多内inae亚科的一个系统发育谱系，包含目前生活在水生地下栖息地的现存物种以及从欧洲和西亚非海相晚古近纪至新近纪和第四纪沉积物中发现的化石物种。的模式种被视为一个复合种，分类学上处理为（），其中包括与新指定参考材料相似的种群。讨论了坎多内inae亚科同形三角形瓣膜的形状。对的瓣膜形态进行仔细检查并结合附肢特征分析，有助于将该属的代表与呈现相似三角形瓣膜的无关系统发育类群区分开来。强调了对于该属分类群的有用描述，透射光显微镜和扫描电子显微镜都是必要的。
