Types: Male holotype, 2 male and 7 female paratypes from Swede Park, residence at 369 Loop Road, Grays River, 50’ asl, N46°18.499’, W123°40.128’, Whahiakum Co., Washington, collected 17 January 2004 by W. Leonard, C. Richart and R. Pyle, deposited in Burke Memorial Museum, University of Washington , Seattle, Washington.
Etymology: The species epithet refers to the relatively wide occurrence of the species in southwestern Washington.
Diagnosis: Distinct from the other two species of Trisaria in details of the gonopods ( Figs. 30–35 View FIGURES 26–31 View FIGURES 32–35 ). The anterior branch of the median angiocoxite (mac1, Figs. 30 View FIGURES 26–31 , 32 View FIGURES 32–35 ) is short, blunt, and two-lobed. The posterior branch a sinuous lamella (mac2, Figs. 30 View FIGURES 26–31 , 32–35 View FIGURES 32–35 ); in T. rex , the posterior branch is very long and curved, and in T. olympia it is so small as to be difficult to see.
Description: Male paratype. Length, 8.0 mm, width, 0.75 mm. Nonsexual characters ( Figs. 42 View FIGURE 42 , 43 View FIGURES 43–47 ) and secondary sexual modifications ( Figs. 37 View FIGURES 36–38 –39, 40, 41, 44) as described for the genus. Gonopods ( Figs. 30–35 View FIGURES 26–31 View FIGURES 32–35 ) robust; gonopod sternum (gst, Fig. 32 View FIGURES 32–35 ) broad, well-sclerotized. Median angiocoxite with anteriormost branch (mac1, Figs. 30 View FIGURES 26–31 , 32, 34, 35 View FIGURES 32–35 ) short, bluntly two-lobed; posteriormost branch (mac2, Figs. 31,35) projecting strongly posteriad as complex, undulate lamella. Lateral angiocoxite three-branched, anteriormost branch (lac1, Figs. 30 View FIGURES 26–31 , 32–35 View FIGURES 32–35 ) broad, blunt, with complex tip; median branch (lac2, Figs. 31 View FIGURES 26–31 , 33–35 View FIGURES 32–35 ) relatively small, with comb-like array of spines; posteriormost branch (lac3, Figs. 33, 34 View FIGURES 32–35 ) broadly based, rapidly tapering distally to blunt spine. Colpocoxites (cc, Fig. 33 View FIGURES 32–35 ) relatively large (but collapsed in Fig. 31 View FIGURES 26–31 ), with small, triangular cuticular scales. Ninth legpair ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 26–31 ) robust, showing less fusion of sternum (s9, Fig. 31 View FIGURES 26–31 coxa (c9) and telopodite (t9) than in other species, telopodite relatively robust, in situ partially concealing gonopods ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 40, 41 ). Tenth legpair with enlarged, glandular coxae.
Female paratype. Length, 8.5 mm, width 0.82 mm. Nonsexual characters as in male. Vulvae as in Fig. 37 View FIGURES 36–38 .
