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.
