Borchsenius (1957) and Yang (1982) synonymized Eriochiton theae Green with Metaceronema japonica, however, Tao et al. (1983) regarded the former as a distinct species.
Euphilippia monticola Wang, 1976, was synonymized by Yang (1982) with Metaceronema japonica (Maslell, 1897), neverthless, Tao (1999) assigned the former, as a distinct species, to the family Kerriidae.
The species differs from its congeners in the presence of only one submedial row of dorsal conical setae, which have acute apices. (Gavrilov-Zimin, 2023a)
- Structure: See colour photograph in Kawai (1980), Wong et al. (1999).
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Tang (1991) and by Hodgson (1994a). Good description of the adult female given by Borchsenius (1957). New illustration of the adult female in Gavrilov-Zimin (2023a).
