TYPE MATERIAL EXAMINED: SMF 29067; Ƌ holotype of Agyneta laetesiformis ; AUSTRALIA, Cairns; leg. Wunderlich, det. Wunderlich; 1975 . – SMF 29068; 2 ♀ paratypes with same label data .

NEW MATERIAL: 1 Ƌ, 1 ♀; INDONESIA, Sulawesi, Kulawi Valley, Wangka (1°36.458’S, 120°1.304’E), 500 m a.s.l., cacao plantation, pitfall trap; III.2008 GoogleMaps . – 1 ♀; Kulawi Valley, Tompibugis (1º37.524’S, 120º2.039’E), 400 m a.s.l., cacao plantation, pitfall trap; VII.2007 GoogleMaps .

VARIABILITY: The specimens from Sulawesi are smaller than the types but not significantly; the genitalia of all specimens of the same sex are essentially identical.

REMARKS: The species was described well on the basis of specimens of both sexes from Cains, northern Queensland, Australia ( Wunderlich, 1976), and after that it has never been recorded again.

DISTRIBUTION: See above.
