Doenitzius Oi, 1960

Type species: Doenitzius peniculus Oi, 1960 , by original designation.

Remarks. This micronetine genus was established to accommodate two new species from Japan: D. peniculus Oi, 1960 and D. pruvus Oi, 1960 . Recently one more species, D. minutus Seo, 2018 , was described from South Korea based on the female holotype, the epigyne of which resembled that of D. pruvus ( Seo, 2018) .

The generotype D. peniculus is known only from non-detailed drawings of poor quality, but even from them it is quite obvious that D. pruvus and, apparently, D. minutus are not congeneric to it. The general appearance of the palp and epigyne show that D. peniculus is probably a representative of Arcuphantes Chamberlin and Ivie, 1943 or Fusciphantes Oi, 1960 (Tanasevitch & Marusik, in preparation).
