No
type
was designated
.
Diagnosis:
The original description does not provide sufficient information for the identification of this species.
Distribution:
Only known from the
type
locality in
Japan
.
Remarks:
No figures were provided in
Kishida (1910)
, and according to his description, this species resembles
Paratmeticus bipunctis
(
Bösenberg & Strand 1906
)
, although no further details were provided to assert such similarity. According to the original description, the palps of ‘
Oe.’
japonicus
might resemble that of
Erigonella
from
Denis (1964)
and
Strand (1905)
, but both these species were also described without illustrations. Therefore, the relationship of this species to other taxa is unclear.
