Amynthas micronarius (Goto & Hatai, 1898)
Material examined. Korean specimen ( NIBR IV00002 46442) collected from NIBR’s Jeju Island Biosphere in Incheon ( NIBR IV0000246442 WO1) described by Blakemore (2012d, fig. 6rhs); Jeju Island new specimens ( NIBR IV0000250396-7) from Hyomyungsa Temple, Mt Halla collected 12 th June, 2012 providing DNA samples ( WO 48, w26).
Remarks. DNA data confirms a 100% match (Appendix) showing the Incheon specimens likely originated in Jeju just as the author suspected in the full redescription with revised synonymy provided by Blakemore (2012b: 138). A subsequent possible new synonym (noted by Blakemore, 2012d) is Amynthas montanus Qiu & Sun, 2012 that has its setae seriously miscounted between descriptions and tables compared to their fig. 2; e.g., 12-18 are described between male pores yet more than 26 are figur- ed, thus setal ranges are given as 52-142 which approach the lower counts from A. micronarius synonyms are unreliable. Sun et al. (2012: 149) also misspell their earlier taxa as “trapezoidesi” rather than A. trapezoides Qiu & Sun, 2010 .
