Type material examined: MRAC #114994; female holotype of Enguterothrix fuscipalpis .

Remarks: Enguterothrix fuscipalpis was described on the basis of two females from Uganda ( Denis, 1962) and was incorrectly placed in this genus. The holotype (the paratype was not seen) does not belong to Enguterothrix , which is supported by a different formula of chaetotaxy and by a dissimilar epigyne conformation. Moreover, I could not find any other Enguterothrix specimens among the Afrotropical linyphiids that I have seen so far, therefore I preliminarily place this species in Micrargus . The transfer is supported by the same chaetotaxy (2.2.1.1), lack of the trichobothrium on metatarsus IV, similar value of the TmI (0.35), as well as the similar epigyne conformation, namely, the presence of a large epigynal cavity (see Fig. 1 View Fig. 1 ). The discovery of the corresponding male will throw more light on the systematic position of this species within the linyphiids.
