Oxus lineatus Walter, 1912

Species incerta

Material examined: NHMB, Holotype Ƥ, gnathosoma/idiosoma on two slides (II/80 -81), Austria, Lunz 1911 Walter.

Discussion: Walter (1912b) described this species from Austria without giving illustrations, and now it is only known from the holotype female. According to the original description, the palp should be slender, but examination revealed that in fact it is very stocky – possibly as a mounting artifact. As other characters given in the original description do not allow a separation from other species, O. lineatus is best considered a species incerta .
