Dorsal and ventral shield present; dorsal shield 469 long and 428 wide, with four pairs of glandularia (Figure 1 B), fused posteriorly with ventral shield. Postocularia and one pair of glandularia lying in the dorsal furrow (as illustrated in Figure 1 D), but occasionally fused with the dorsal shield. Posterior pair of dorsal shield on relative large tubercles. Dorsal shield with a peculiar coloration, as illustrated in Figure 16 A: a large reddish patch in the posterior part of the shield. However, other specimens lack the reddish coloration, and are brownish. Ventral shield 628 long and 556 wide, tips of Cx-I somewhat pointed. Apodemes of anterior coxal plates extending beyond the middle of third coxal plates. Genital plates fused with the ventral shield with approximately 13 – 14 pairs of acetabula, 250 wide between outer margins of acetabula; gonopore 86 long.

Dorsal shield 569 long and 469 wide, with three pairs of glandularia, completely separated from the ventral shield (Figure 1 D). Ventral shield 694 long and 619 wide. Genital plates with approximately 15 – 19 pairs of acetabula, 313 wide between outer margins of acetabula; gonopore 106 long and 92 wide. Palp: dorsal length / height: P 1, 16 / 28; P 2, 77 / 41; P 3, 39 / 36; P 4, 81 / 23; P 5, 33 / 16. Gnathosoma with anchoral process 130 long. Chelicera 117 long.

2C2787CEFF8EFF29C98AFBF93CFAC6EF.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Cook (1986) based his description of the species on one male. Later on, Smit (2007) described the female. Now more material is available, it is clear that these descriptions need an emendation. According to Cook (1986) and Smit (2007) there are no free glandularia in the dorsal furrow, but all but one specimen have a pair of glandularia (Dgl- 2) and the postocularia in the dorsal furrow. In one specimen one gland and the postocularia are fused with the dorsal shield. In specimens with a narrow dorsal furrow, this gland and the postocularia are lying separately on the dorsal furrow.	en	Smit, Harry, Pešić, Vladimir (2025): New records of the genus Recifella K.

The new species resembles Recifella triradiata, but clearly differs in III-leg- 2 with a large strange, truncated seta which is absent in triradiata. Moreover, the three specialized setae in the new species are much more slender, hair-like (these setae in triradiata are somewhat widened distally, compare figure 942 in Cook 1986 with figures 9 C-D). Recifella tinka resembles the new species in having three specialized setae on IV-leg- 5 not widened distally, placed close together and located on a slight ventral bulge (see Figure 5 B). From the latter, the new species differs in slender palpal segments and the three specialized setae on IV-leg- 5 comparatively more slender, and the most anterior one somewhat more distanced from the two others (compare figures 9 C-D and figure 5 B)	en	Smit, Harry, Pešić, Vladimir (2025): New records of the genus Recifella K.

We give here a redescription of Recifella kakadu Smit, 2007 a species known previously from a single male from Baboalba springs in Northern Territory (Smit 2007). Smit (2007) mentioned the presence of five pectinate setae on IV-leg- 5, four so-called specialized setae with small pectinations and the most anterior one bowed and with large pectinations. In the new specimen from Florence Creek, IV-leg- 5 possesses three specialized setae, most proximal of them with small pectinations, two other specialized setae with large pectinations, especially the most distal one, which is also larger than the other specialized setae. More material is needed to know the number of specialized setae of IV-leg- 5. For the time being, we assign specimens with IV-leg- 5 with three or four specialized setae to R. kakadu.	en	Smit, Harry, Pešić, Vladimir (2025): New records of the genus Recifella K.
