Unexamined material: Japan: Honshu, Nagaoka City, 30.v.1908, coll. Masao Nakamura (Kishida 1910). 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.
