ABSTRACT: Malirekus iroquois, n. sp., is described from adult specimens taken in the northern Appalachians. Males of the new species are distinguished by the shape of the lateral stylets which are only slightly hooked in M. iroquois, but are strongly hooked in M. hastatus (Banks). Eggs of M. iroquois are coarsely punctate while the chorionic surface of M. hastatus is granular with scattered clusters of scale-like processes.
