Abstract

A new species, Vesicephalus crossleyi Snider, is described from the Savannah River Plant and Georgia. While the species shares similar morphological characteristics with Vesicephalus longisetis (Guthrie) and Vesicephalus occidentalis (Mills), it differs from those species by having 10-11 tenent hairs. V. occidentalis has a much expanded unguicular subapical filament. V. longisetis lacks a pronounced tunica. The type locality is Habersham County, Georgia, leaf litter.
