Micropholcomma caeligenum is similar to, and often sympatric with, M. bryophilum , e.g. in the Yarra Ranges and Otway Ranges of Victoria . It can be most easily distinguished by the absence of a pedipalp on the female. The holotype specimen described by Crosby and Bishop (1927) does not appear to be in the Cornell University collection as stated in the original description, or in the AMNH collection, and is probably lost (N. Platnick, pers. comm.).
