(Fig. 9)

“ Myllaena japonica” Sharp, 1888: 377 .

Specimens examined. 2 ♀ (on same paper card), “ Nagasaki /13/II. – 21.IV.81// Japan./ G. Lewis. //Sharp Coll./1905 – 313.” ( BMNH). From the syntypes of M. japonica .

Comments. The syntypes of M. japonica were found to be composed of two species. These female specimens from Nagasaki are clearly distinguishable from M. japonica in the shape of the spermatheca and most probably an undescribed species. Findings of male specimens and its description/redescription will be waited.
