[6] The Metacynorta

Pickard-Cambridge (1904) had created the new genus Metacynorta Pickard-Cambridge, 1904 for the new species Metacynorta gracilipes Pickard-Cambridge, 1904 from Guatemala, and Roewer (1912) placed Gonyleptes ornatus Say, 1821 in Metacynorta . Mary Elizabeth Walker (1928), in her study of Ohio harvestmen, described the new species Metacynorta denticus Walker, 1928 from Clear Creek. She compared M. denticus to M. ornata , saying that it: “differs from it [ M. ornata ] in a sufficient number of characters to permit describing it as a new species.” However, she did not care to elaborate on those characters.
