Abstract

Triangulotarbus terrehautensis n. gen. and sp. is a Pennsylvanian phalangiotarbid (Arachnida) that occurs in the sandy shales of the lower Shelburn Formation, McLeansboro Group, Desmoinesian Series, above Coal VII (Danville Coal) of the Dugger Formation. Triangulotarbus terrehautensis is the youngest phalangiotarbid that has been collected in North America.
