Remarks. Oreonetides longembolus Wunderlich & Li, 1995 was originally described from the male holotype collected in the Liaoning Province of northeastern China (Wunderlich & Li 1995). Marusik et al. (2016) discovered and described the female of this species and correctly noted that the long and whip-shaped embolus in the male palp is typical of neither Oreonetides Strand, 1901 nor the subfamily Micronetinae sensu Saaristo & Tanasevitch (1996) as a whole. The structure of the epigyne does resemble the “micronetine” pattern (see Saaristo & Tanasevitch 1996) and is even similar to that of some species of Maro O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1906 . Two years later, Tanasevitch (2018) established a new genus, Erigomicronus Tanasevitch, 2018, with O. longembolus as the type species, and included Erigomicronus longembolus (Wunderlich & Li 1995), and Maro lautus Saito, 1984 .

Distribution. Known from the Liaoning Province of northeastern China (Wunderlich & Li 1995, and new data), and from the southern part of the Maritime Province, Russia (Marusik et al. 2016; Tanasevitch 2018) (Fig. 9B).
