Abstract

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.
