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).
