This si>ecies is described from a male and female collected by Dr. 

 Richard D. Owen, of New Harmony, Ind., and to whom I have the 

 pleasure of dedicating it. I have thought it best to introduce the fol- 

 lowing analytical key in order to show the relations of G. oweni as well 

 as those of some others recently described, belonging to that section of 

 GeophiluH which has the last ventral plate wide.
