References in the literature concerning the comparative status of 

 Gateria and Gahrliepia are reviewed by Womersley (1952) and Fuller 

 (1952). The only criterion for separating the two genera is whether 

 the dorsal setae which are usurped by the scutum are marginal or sub- 

 median in position. On this basis, only nanus Oudemans, 1910 (the 

 genotype) and cetrata Gater, 1932, have been considered Gahrliepia, 

 and the remaining eight described species have often been deemed 

 Gateria. However, our examination of paratype material disclosed
