ABSTRACT. A small personal collection of Asian and Polynesian linyphiids of Pekka Lehtinen (Turku, Finland) contains seven species, two of which are identified only to the genus level. A previously unknown male of Racata laxa Tanasevitch, 2019 is described from Sumatra. In addition, a new combination is proposed: Wuliphantes tateyamaensis (Oi, 1960), comb.n. ex Microbathyphantes van Helsdingen, 1985. A checklist is provided with remarks and data on distributions. Several species are illustrated for the first time.
