Redescription of Ketambea nigripectoris (Oi, 1960) comb. nov. (Araneae: Linyphiidae)
Neriene nigripectoris (Oi, 1960) (Araneae, Linyphiidae) is redescribed and illustrated. Based on the genital conformation, we propose that N. nigripectoris be transferred to the genus Ketambea Millidge & Russell-Smith, 1992. Notes are given on distinguishing Neriene from Ketambea.
