This paper gives a brief introduction of taxonmic knowledge of Thomisidae and Philodromidae. The materials and papers quoted here mainly from Dr. Song. I hope that information given in the Korean text will be useful to the study of taxonomy of the Famillies Thomisidae and Philodromidae in Asia.

Philodromidae Thorell, 1869 is one of the most diversified and largest families comprising 522 species in 29 genera within the order Araneae Clerck, 1757. The genus Thanatus C. L. Koch, 1837 comprise 99 species of the family and four species of the genus Thanatus (Philodromidae) have been recorded in Korea: T. coreanus Paik, 1979, T. miniaceus Simon, 1880, T. nipponicus Yaginuma, 1969, and T. vulgaris Simon, 1870. Two females of T. arcticus Thorell, 1872 were collected by sweep net between the shrubs in mountainous mixed forests from Mt. Chiaksan National Park, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do and Mt. Naejangsan National Park, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do. The present study describes T. arcticus with measurements and taxonomic illustrations.

Three novel species, Philodromus daoxianen n. sp., P. ganxiensis n. sp., and P. longitibiacus n. sp., are described based on the specimens collected from Hunan Province, China. P. daoxianen is similar to P. rufus, but its spermathecae is calabash-shaped, that of the latter spherical. It is also similar to P. kendrabatai, but differs in the form of atrium, distance between two spermathecae and dorsal markings of the abdomen. P. ganxiensis differs from other species of the genus Philodromus in eplgynum by a pair of sword-shaped apophyses, palpal organ with slightly wider distal end of a tibial apophysis, and knife-shaped membranous median apophysis. P. longitibiacus differs from other related species in long and thin palps and legs especially tibia of palps, which is about 4.5 times as long as the cybium and basal portion of embolus strongly sclerotized.

The spider fauna of rice fields, marshes, and reclaimed lands was intensively explored in 2015-2022. During the seasonal survey, six Tibellus spiders were collected; two of them, Tibellus fengi Efimik, 1999 and Tibellus japonicus Efimik, 1999, were new to Korean spider fauna and four of them were identified as new species, Tibellus deokjeok sp. nov., Tibellus gimcheon sp. nov., Tibellus sihwa sp. nov., and Tibellus yeongdong sp. nov.. Four new species are similar to each other and known species in the shape of the genital organ and body appearance in both sexes, but can be distinguished from the other Tibellus members by the shape of embolus, conductor, retrolateral tibial apophysis, and ventral tibial apophysis in male and median septum, receptaculum, spermatheca, and copulatory duct in female. The present study taxonomically describes these six Tibellus spiders with diagnoses, measurements, and morphological photos with a key to the Korean Tibellus species.

Spider fauna of Mt. Gajisan in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do was investigated from June to October. Collecting spiders was made by sweeping, beating, sieving and pitfall trapping. Total 66 species of 59 genera belonging to 20 families were identified from 317 collected spiders. Species richness was high in Salticidae (12 species, 20.0%), Theridiidae (8 species, 12.1%), Linyphiidae (5 species, 7.6%), Araneidae, Corinnidae, Gnaphosiade and Thomisidae (4 species, 6.1% repectively), Tetragnathidae, Amaurobiidae and Philodromidae (3 species, 4.5% repectively). Zoogeographical species were 1 Pantropical species (1.5%), 4 Palearctic species (6.1%) and 3 Korean endemic species (4.5%). This result will be a valuable monitoring data in comparative study of mountain spiders.
