4FE5144D5B035D02D8497C058D42A752.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males of this genus are easily recognized by possessing a mastidion (large tooth on frontal part of chelicera) and by their elongate palp with patella longer than cymbium, ventral terminal tooth on patella, and thin bulbus (as wide as terminal part of tibia). Females are recognized by their flat epigyne without a cavity. Males may be confused only with the trans-Palaearctic Hylyphantes graminicola (Sundevall, 1830) because it also has a mastidion and a patellar tooth. However, the males of Hylyphantes have shorter palp, undivided embolic division and screw-like embolus. The females of Tmeticus may be confused with those of several genera, such as Oedothorax Bertkau, 1883 or with Donacochara speciosa (Thorell, 1875). However, Oedothorax females have a different colour pattern, and Donacochara speciosa is notably larger.	en	Marusik, Yuri M., Koponen, Seppo (2010): A review of the Holarctic genus Tmeticus Menge, 1868 (Araneae, Linyphiidae), with a description of a new genus.
