03F2878BA930FFE2FF12FC0AFAEC3FC1.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species can be distinguished from G. klarae sp. nov. by the colour pattern of the carapace, the shape of the chela and the chelal dentition. It differs from G. sagittatus, G. asiaticus Murthy & Ananthakrishnan, 1977, G. heterodentatus and G. nepalensis in the shape of the chelal hand, as it lacks a prolateral constriction at the base of the fingers (cf. Beier 1957, 1965, 1974). The shape of the chelal hand in dorsal view closely resembles that of the Australian species G. exochus Harvey, 1986, but the dorsal face of the fixed finger is undulate in lateral view in the new species, unlike G. exochus (Harvey 1986). Trichobothrium t of the movable chelal finger is located subterminally in G. exochus, but it is situated two-thirds from base of the finger in G. muchmorei sp. nov. Also, G. exochus has st situated distinctly nearer to t, while it is closer to sb in G. muchmorei. The chela of G. exochus has 10 accessory teeth on the fixed finger (Harvey 1986), whereas the new species has only 4 ‒ 7 such teeth. The new species differs from G. irrugatus (Simon, 1899) in its chelal dentition (teeth of both fingers more widely separated in G. irrugatus) and in having the prolateral face of the chelal hand more swollen (cf. Harvey 2010). The darker coloration of the carapace and the shape of the chelal hand clearly distinguish the new species from G. longidigitatus and G. albus Beier, 1963 (Beier 1963 a; Harvey 1988, 2000). The chela of G. angulatus Chamberlin, 1930 has a totally different shape in lateral view (Chamberlin 1930). Trichobothrium isb is situated nearer to the dental margin in G. granulatus Murthy & Ananthakrishnan, 1977, and the vestitural setae on the carapace and the pedipalps of the new species are mostly clavate, whereas they are acuminate in G. granulatus (Murthy & Ananthakrishnan 1977). In G. muchmorei sp. nov., the distance between it and et on the fixed finger is half that between it and est, whereas in G. granulatus these distances are nearly equal. Furthermore, trichobothrium esb is nearly equidistant between eb and isb in G. granulatus, but much closer to eb in G. muchmorei sp. nov. The teeth of the movable chelal finger are more spaced in G. granulatus than in the new species. Geogarypus globulus Sivaraman, 1980 differs from the new species in having it more distally located on the fixed chelal finger, and the prolateral side of chelal hand not swollen (Sivaraman 1980). Geogarypus elegans has a totally brown carapace, 12 accessory teeth on the fixed chelal finger (4 ‒ 7 in the new species) and more slender chelae (With 1906).	en	Novák, János, Harvey, Mark S.

03F2878BA935FFE0FF12FBE9FE653BFD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species can be distinguished from G. muchmorei sp. nov. by the colour pattern of the carapace, the shape of the chela and the chelal dentition. It differs from all other described Geogarypus species by the following combination of characters: the carapace coloration, the white trochanter and the strongly curved teeth on the fixed chelal finger. It can also be differentiated from the Asian species G. sagittatus, G. asiaticus, G. heterodentatus and G. nepalensis by the shape of the chelal hand, as it lacks a prolateral constriction at the base of the fingers (cf. Beier 1957, 1965, 1974). In addition, it can be differentiated from G. angulatus and G. exochus by the shape of the chela, and from G. connatus Harvey, 1986 by the diplotarsate legs (Harvey 1986). It is not possible to separate it from G. tenuis Chamberlin, 1930 as the holotype is a tritonymph (Harvey 1986). The new species resembles G. taylori Harvey, 1986 in the strongly curved teeth of the fixed chelal finger and the coloration of the carapace, but differs in the white pedipalpal trochanter and in having trichobothrium it at the level of ist or slightly distal to ist (cf. Harvey 1986). The new species is most similar to G. rhantus Harvey, 1981 from north-eastern Australia, but differs in the colour of the carapace, the brown pedicel of the pedipalpal femur (which is white in G. rhantus), in having 2 + 2 setae near the anterior edge of the carapace (3 + 3 in G. rhantus, according to Harvey 1981: fig. 1 C), in having the prolateral face of the pedipalpal trochanter evenly rounded (more rectangular in G. rhantus according to Harvey 1981: fig. 1 A), and the teeth of the fixed chelal finger strongly curved backwards (only weakly so in G. rhantus).	en	Novák, János, Harvey, Mark S.

03F2878BA936FFE1FF12FF6FFF2A3E32.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Geogarypus longidigitatus was redescribed by Harvey (2000) and established to be the senior synonym of seven other taxa: G. personatus (Simon, 1900), G. javanus (Tullgren, 1905), G. formosanus Beier, 1931, G. marquesianus Chamberlin, 1939, G. audyi Beier, 1952, G. micronesiensis Morikawa, 1952 and Geogarypus javanus takensis Beier, 1967. The species is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region (Harvey 2000), but the new specimens represent the first records of G. longidigitatus from Sri Lanka (Batuwita & Benjamin 2014).	en	Novák, János, Harvey, Mark S.

03F2878BA936FFE1FF12FD76FE133B43.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined. 1 ♀ (HNHM Pseud- 1993), Angoram, Papua New Guinea, 13 Aug. 1969, collected by knocking trees in the rainforest alongside paths and at the forest edge. Supplementary description (female). General appearance as in Fig. 3 A. Carapace granulate, with small clavate setae (Fig. 3 B), two smaller clavate and two longer spear-shaped setae near anterior margin (Fig. 3 C). Cheliceral setation typical for the genus (Fig. 3 D). Two subterminal teeth on fixed cheliceral finger, no teeth visible on movable finger. Galea simple. Serrula exterior with 13 ‒ 14 blades, distal 2 enlarged and pointed, proximal 2 enlarged, of which the distal one is clavate and the proximal one hooked (Fig. 3 E). Pedipalpal femur (Fig. 3 F) with normal granulation, no enlarged tubercles present, setae clavate and acuminate (Figs 3 G, H). Chelal fixed finger (Fig. 3 I) with 17 widely spaced teeth, pointed and backwards-curved in distal quarter, then becoming conical. Retrolateral face of fixed finger with 9 accessory teeth between est and et. Movable finger with 22 slightly spaced teeth, which are inclined backwards in distal half but become flattened in the proximal half. Retrolateral face of fixed chelal finger with 4 pit-like structures. Female genital region: sternite II with 3 + 3 microsetae and two lyrifissures, sternite III with 2 microsetae and 2 lyrifissures near genital opening. One pair of elongated lateral cribriform plates and a medial cribriform plate present, but these are weakly visible. Median setae of sternites show no differences from the other setae. Legs (Figs 3 J, K) diplotarsate and without tactile setae, surface mostly granulate. Claws simple. Arolia slightly longer than claws.	en	Novák, János, Harvey, Mark S.

03F2878BA936FFE1FF12FD76FE133B43.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The characters of this specimen from Papua New Guinea correspond well with the original description (Beier 1965), including the coloration, which fully matches Beier’s figure (Beier 1965: fig. 7). However, since the original description does not include several characters of taxonomic importance, some supplementary features are described here from the new specimen. Beier (1965) described the species as a member of the subgenus Indogarypus (Beier 1965), but it was later excluded from Indogarypus when Harvey (1986) elevated it to genus level, because the prolateral constriction of the chelal hand near the base of the fingers is much weaker than in the type species of the genus, I. indicus (Beier, 1930) (Beier 1930; Harvey 1986). Geogarypus sagittatus has been reported from Papua New Guinea and West Papua (Beier 1965, 1982), and is probably endemic to the island of New Guinea.	en	Novák, János, Harvey, Mark S.
