Inventory (adults): DSIVS. VS and DS complete. For arrangement of DS see definition. Eyes. Eyes ftised to the lateral edges of the ventral shield. Coxae. First coxae fused medially, suture only v^eakly expressed. Anterior border of C3 concave. Similar to the situation in Bandakia and Utaxatax, a medial platelet appears to be separated from C3 by a suture parallel to the main axis of the body. However, in Gi- latonia this platelet extends posteriorly and cuts off a small medial part of the fourth coxae as well. Cg4. The Cg4 is situated medial to the suture C3- C4 (while in Bandakia and Utaxatax Cg4 is situated on the anterolateral edge of the median platelet). GF. C4 closely impending anterior half of GF. Pos- terior border of C4 reaches middle of genital flaps. Ac. Three pairs of Ac of equal size, no gap between first, second and third Ac. I-L-6. I-L-6 with setae reduced to hairs and claws hook-like with a ventral and a dorsal clawlet. rV-L-6. See definition; no swimming hairs present. Palpus. Palpus of characteristic shape, with P4 and P5 slightly swollen. Figure depicted by Viets & Böttger (1974, p. 124, Fig. 28) shows 5 dorsal setae situated in a row: 1 seta on PI, 3 on P2, and 1 on P4. There are no other lateral or ventral setae or hairs shown in Viets & Böttger (1974). The segment P5 is litde less than one-third of P4 in length. It is specific in pos- sessing 3 strong seta-like claws at its distal end, which are half as long as P5. Chelicerae. In the holorype preparation the chelicerae are in the gnathosoma and both are seen from dor- sal position only. Hence no information on the che- licerae is available, other than the total length which is approximately 115 pm. The nymphs of Mamersella thienemanni show one posterior and two anterolateral plat
