Remarks. Geogarypus longidigitatus was redescribed by Harvey (2000) and established to be the senior synonym of seven other taxa: G. personatus (Simon, 1900) , G. javanus (Tullgren, 1905) , G. formosanus Beier, 1931 , G. marquesianus Chamberlin, 1939 , G. audyi Beier, 1952 , G. micronesiensis Morikawa, 1952 and Geogarypus javanus takensis Beier, 1967 . The species is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region ( Harvey 2000), but the new specimens represent the first records of G. longidigitatus from Sri Lanka ( Batuwita & Benjamin 2014).
