Abstract

Adults of Geayia ontarioensis n. sp. are described. Members of this species exhibit character states of the tibia of the pedipalp and of the legs characteristic of Geayia (s.s.), but differ from all other members of the subgenus in having 5 rather than 4 pairs of genital acetabula. A revised diagnosis of Geayia (s.s.) is presented.
