03CE87D1FFE5F368FC6831E313295C75.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – Compared with the illustrations of Microbathyphantes asiaticus van Helsdingen, 1985, and M. spedani (Locket, 1968) provided by van Helsdingen (1985, Figs. 11 - 17), the genital structures of the current species show striking resemblance to that of Microbathyphantes, and herewith transfer it to genus Microbathyphantes. Microbathyphantes aokii (Saito, 1982), new combination, can be distinguished from M. asiaticus and M. spedani by the rolling and pointed apex of anterior projection of lamella characteristica, which was not bifurcated as both in M. asiaticus and M. spedani according to the illustrations by van Helsdingen. Furthermore, the study on types of Bathyphantes dipetalus Chen & Yin, 2000, shows that Microbathyphantes aokii (Saito, 1982) is a senior synonym of Bathyphante dipetalus Chen & Yin, 2000.	en	Li, Lihong Tu Shuqiang (2006): Three New And Four Newly Recorded Species Of Linyphiinae And Micronetinae Spiders (Araneae: Linyphiidae) From Northern Vietnam.

03CE87D1FFE2F366FC4733C314FB5B92.taxon	etymology	Etymology. – The specific name comes from Latin ellipsoidalis (ellipse) in reference to the shape of the embolus of the male palp.	en	Li, Lihong Tu Shuqiang (2006): Three New And Four Newly Recorded Species Of Linyphiinae And Micronetinae Spiders (Araneae: Linyphiidae) From Northern Vietnam.

03CE87D1FFE2F366FC4733C314FB5B92.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – The new species is similar to Nesioneta benoiti (van Helsdingen, 1978), which was transferred from genus Meioneta by Saaristo (1995). Comparison of the two species revealed that the differences between them mainly concentrated on embolic division (Figs. 6 A-B): 1) the different shapes of their dorsal embolic apophyses; 2) the middle process of the ventral embolic apophysis in the new species is long and sharp, while it is short in N. benoiti; 3) the oval plate-shaped main body of embolus of this new species has two small posterior embolic apophyses, while N. benoiti has only one. Additionally, in this new species, the dentate-like projections on the dorsal surface of anterior terminal apophysis in N. benoiti seem much smaller in central than those along the margin (Fig. 6 C).	en	Li, Lihong Tu Shuqiang (2006): Three New And Four Newly Recorded Species Of Linyphiinae And Micronetinae Spiders (Araneae: Linyphiidae) From Northern Vietnam.

03CE87D1FFEEF362FCB1306F14845CF5.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – Compared with the illustrations of Neriene clathrata (Sundevall, 1830) provided by van Helsdingen (1969: Figs. 83 - 91), the genital structures of present species show several differences: 1) without the coil-shaped terminal apophysis which is typical character of male palp of Neriene; 2) embolus long, thread like; 3) epigynum with posterior margin of ventral wall extending in the middle to form a septum which divides atrium into two. These characters do not corresponding well with the genital type of Neriene, but show striking resemblance to that of Prosoponoides hamatum Millidge & Russell-Smith (1992: Figs. 1 - 4, 8 - 11). As a result, N. sinensis was transferred to Prosoponoides here in this study.	en	Li, Lihong Tu Shuqiang (2006): Three New And Four Newly Recorded Species Of Linyphiinae And Micronetinae Spiders (Araneae: Linyphiidae) From Northern Vietnam.
