| abstract | Until recently the family Pontarachnidae was thought to be a strictly marine group. However, Cook (1986) described a species of Litarachna from a stream in Tasmania, Australia and this paper describes a species of Pontarachna from a river in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. Although the family has previously been diagnosed as lacking genital acetabula, these structures or theier homologs do seem to be present. |
