Abstract

The genus Iviella Lehtinen 1967 (Dictynidae) comprises three North American species, I. ohioensis (Chamberlin & Ivie 1935), I. reclusa (Gertsch & Ivie 1936) and a new species from the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland. We provide a new diagnosis of the genus, describe the new species and describe the previously unknown male of I. reclusa. We also describe or re-describe the intricate copulatory ducts and spermathecae of the three species. © 2010 The American Arachnological Society.
