Type specimens of
Telamonia bifurcilinea BÖSENBERG et STRAND, 1906, and
Phintella typica STRAND in BÖSENBERG et STRAND, 1906, are compared with new specimens from Japan and a specific identity is established. Possible identity with
Ictidops pupus KARSCH, 1879, is also discussed. Accepting priority of name “
bifurcilinea”, the proper name of the species should be
Phintella bifurcilinea (BÖSENBERG et STRAND, 1906). The generic name
Phintella should be applied to all related species, including Japanese
Jotus and
Telamonia.
