Selected material examined. AUSTRALIA: Victoria: Emerald, Cardinia Reservoir , 20.IV.2006, M. Rix, 1♁, 3♀ ( WAM T77727) ; same data, 1♀ ( WAM T80014 DNA- MPE) ; Great Otway National Park, Maits Rest, 10 km W. of Apollo Bay , 23.IV.2006, M. Rix, 1♁ ( WAM T94450) ; Great Otway National Park, Melba Gully , 24.IV.2006 ,
M. Rix , 1♀ ( WAM T94449) ; same data except 5.XI.1997, G. & S. Monteith, 1♁, 2♀ ( QMB S41824 View Materials ) ; Great Otway National Park , track to Cora Lynn Cascades, near Lorne, 22.IV.2006, M. Rix, 2♀ ( WAM T94447) ; Yarra Ranges National Park , ‘ The Beeches’, near Marysville, 18.IV.2006, M. Rix, 1♁, 1♀ ( WAM T94448) .
Remarks. Micropholcomma caeligenum is similar to, and often sympatric with, M. bryophilum , e.g. in the Yarra Ranges and Otway Ranges of Victoria. It can be most easily distinguished by the absence of a pedipalp on the female. The holotype specimen described by Crosby and Bishop (1927) does not appear to be in the Cornell University collection as stated in the original description, or in the AMNH collection, and is probably lost (N. Platnick, pers. comm.).
