Oxyopes sertatus is a species of lynx spider in the family Oxyopidae.[1] It is native to East Asia, where it is distributed across India, Nepal, China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.[1]
The species was first described by Ludwig Carl Christian Koch in 1878 based on specimens from Japan.[1][2] The holotype, an immature female, is deposited in the Natural History Museum, London.[1][3]
In 1924, Ralph V. Chamberlin described Argiope aequior from specimens collected in China, but this was later determined to be a synonym of O. sertatus by Song Daxiang in 1988.[1][4]
