(Fig. 9)

“ Myllaena japonica” Sharp, 1888: 377 View in CoL .

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 View in CoL .

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.
