Treatment

Tmeticus nigerrimus Saito and Ono 2001: 13, f. 26-31 (♂♀).

Tmeticus nigerrimus : Ono et al. 2009: 304, f. 643-647 (♂♀).

Comments.

This species is clearly not related to Tmeticus affinis or other members of the genus due to the short palpal patella lacking a tooth in the male, embolic division of a different shape, the relatively long tibial apophysis, lack of a mastidion, epigyne with a septum and some other additional characters. The correct generic placement remains unclear.
