Abstract
New material described recently permits the separation of six upogebiid species into the new genus Austinogebia, for which the diagnostic characters and a key are presented. The new taxon is compared to its close relative, Gebiacantha Ngoc-Ho, 1989, and the opportunity is taken to rediagnose the latter.
