  • Many spiders belonging to Enoplognatha Pavesi, 1880 and Parasteatoda Archer, 1946 of Theridiidae were collected with sweep net between shrubs and bushes in the mountain forest during a survey of the mountain spider fauna. Among the spiders collected, male Enoplognatha gramineusa Zhu, 1998 and female Parasteatoda ryukyu (Yoshida 2000) were recognized as newly recorded spiders to Korean spider fauna. The present work describes these two spiders with measurements and morphological illustrations.

  • Three wolf spiders of the family Lycosidae Sundevall, 1833 are newly described from Korea: Arctosa labiata Tso & Chen, 2004, Pardosa altitudis Tikader & Malhotra, 1980, and Pardosa laevitarsis Tanaka & Suwa, 1986. These spiders were collected during a seasonal survey of the spider fauna of National Parks located in Gangwon-do and Gyeongsanbuk-do in 2018-2019; two males of A. labiata from Mt. Songnisan National Park, one female of P. altitudis from Mt. Chiaksan National Park, and two males of P. laevitarsis from Mt. Odaesan and Sobaeksan National Parks. The three newly recorded spiders have previously been known to be distributed in Taiwan, India, China, and Japan. These spiders were collected by hand in mixed forest leaf litter in mountainous terrains. The present paper taxonomically describes these three wolf spiders with measurements and morphological illustrations.

  • The only record of spider's from Cholla Namdo was made by T. Kambe in 1953. They were collected from Mokpo area which is located south-west coast of Cholla Namdo and included 24 species belonging to 8 families. In this paper are given for the first time a iist of spiders from Kwangju City, inland of Cholla Namdo. wis located at the center of Cholla Namdo. More than 5,000 individual spiders were collected by one of the junior author, J.K. Yoon during autumn in 1570. In spite ef rather large number of spiders were collected, collecting season and the locality are restricted, number of species was reiatit·ely small and many young spiders were undeterminable, A total of 50 species belong to 15 families, including 5 unrecorded species from Korea, were identified. Unrecorded species were as follows: Uloborus yesoensis $(S_{AITO},\;1934)$ Pirate piraticus $(C_{LERCK},\;, 1757)$ Stemmops sp. Trochosa ruricola$(D_E\; G_{EER},\; 1778)$ Erigone koshiensis $O_r$, 1960

  • The fauna of spiders in streamsides were surveyed by pitfall trapping at three sites (Gichun-ri, Duckwoo-ri and Haechang-ri) in Paltan-myun in Hwasung areas, Gyeonggi-do. Total 83 spider species and 63 genera belonging to 20 families were identified from 3,128 spiders collected. Species richness and abundance are high in Linyphiidae and Lycosidae and these two groups comprised 60.7% of total collected spiders. Thirty-six species (43.4%) were Iveb builders and 47 species (56.6%) were hunters. This study was the first survey on streamside spiders form Korea and will be valuable in the management of biological resources and description of biodiversity, and augment for utilizing them as a biological control agent in agricultural landscape.

  • The spider fauna in Anmyun-do Island was investigated from 20 th to 24 th Aug. 1999. As a result,94 species of 66 genera under 18 families were collected. Identified spiders were composed of Palaearctic (6%), Holarctic (7%), Oriental (0.8%), Cosmopolitan (0.8%) species. Araneid, salticid and theridiid spiders were dominant among the spiders. Common species with Japan and China were 93 (72%) and 90 (70%) species, respectively.

  • The spider fauna of Namhai Island was investigated from 21 to 25 Aug 1998. As a result,81 species of 43 genera under 15 families were collected. Identified spiders are composed of 30.8% Palaearctic, 28.4% Palaearctic and Oriental, 6.1% Holarctic, 2.4% Oriental, and 3.7% Cosmopolitan species. Araneid, salticid and theridiid spiders appeared to be dominant among the spiders. Common species with Japan and China were 56(69.1%) AND 55 (67.1%) species, respectively.

  • The kleptoparasitic spider subfamily Argyrodinae in Korea is reviewed with detailed illustrations and SEM photographs of male palpal organs. Five species belonging to four genera of Korean Argyrodinae spiders are redescribed and Argyrodes miltosus Zhu and Song, 1991 is synonymized with A. miniaceu. A key to the species of the Korean Argyrodinae spiders are also provided.

  • The faunistic study on the spiders (Arachnida, Araneae) from Quito and Galapagos Islands was carried out from 1st to 18th Aug. 2000. During the survey period, 50 species of 48 genera belonging to 22 families (include 1 undetermined species) were identified from 562 collecting individuals. The dominant family was Araneidae (Gasteracantha cancriformis : 32% of total species). The species of settling spiders were richer than those of hunting spiders among the identified spiders. The author redescribes and figures in detail Gasteracantha cancriformis, which was collected during a field trip of Quito and Galapagos Islands.
