Abstract | Lindia gravitata, previously considered a synonym of L. tecusa by several authors is redescribed. Body shape and trophi structure show that both species are closely related, and unequivocally differentiated by e.g. toe shape, number of sensory papillae, and shape of subunci and epipharyn Halolindia are discussed. |
