Types.

Male holotype (NSMT-Ar 9741), Japan, Honshu, Aichi Prefecture, Okazaki-shi, Okuyamada-cho, Mt. Murazumi-yama, alt. 200-250 m, 5 May 2011, coll. Kiyoto Ogata. Paratypes, 1♀ (NSMT-Ar 9742), same data as holotype; 2♀♀ and 2♂♂ (NSMT-Ar 9743), same data as holotype.

Diagnosis.

The genital characters of Solenysa ogatai are very similar to those of Solenysa partibilis (Figs 3 C–F, 6 C–D). The male palp is diagnosed by the posterior branch of the lamella characteristica with two long free ends, the longer one in Solenysa ogatai is sigmoid curved in ventral view (Fig. 3C), almost a circle in anterior view (Fig. 3E), while in Solenysa partibilis L-curved in ventral view (Fig. 3D), half circle in anterior view (Fig. 3F). The epigyne can be distinguished by the epigynal collar, which is more than four times wider than long in Solenysa ogatai (Fig. 5B), but less than twice as wide than long in Solenysa partibilis ( Tu and Hormiga 2011: fig. 11I).

Description.
