Abstract

A Korean Cheiracanthium erraticum (Walckenaer, 1802) is first described with detailed illustrations, leg spination, trichobothrium patterns and SEM photographs of male palp and female epigynum. Two species, C. lascivum Karsch, 1879 and C. eutittha Boesenberg & Strand, 1906 are excluded from Korean fauna. A map showing distribution of species and a key to the species of genus Cheiracanthium from Korea are provided.
