Two species of the genus Oxytate L. Koch, 1878 have been recorded in Korea to date. The spider fauna was surveyed in the mountainous terrain of Mt. Hallasan National Park in 2019. A female of Oxytate lobia sp. nov. was collected with a sweep net between shrubs in mixed forests during a seasonal spider survey and is described with measurements, morphological illustrations, and a diagnosis. The new species can be easily distinguished from similar species within the genus by the long copulatory duct conjugated with a spermatheca, a pair of triangular pits at the bottom, and no ditches.

In recent years, the drying of the water spider habitat has been progressing rapidly. This is the primary cause of extreme climatic events in 2014/2015 with overall reduction in annual precipitation, but impermeable clayey layer formed in the superficial formation also plays an important role. The clayey layer is a critical factor in the formation of wetlands on a well-drained lava plateau, but paradoxically, it restricts the connection with ground water, increasing the instability of the water balance and making it precipitation-dependent structure. In addition, construction of roads/drainways has also caused drying of wetlands by blocking or rapidly spilling surface water/sheet flow. Therefore, to keep the wetlands sustainable, it should increase the flow into the wetlands by removing the road/drainways and floodgates installed to reduce the outflow.

These experiments were conducted to investigate the life history and the seasonal fluctuation of population density of tea red spider mite, Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida and to observe its natural enemies in the southern area. Under field-cage conditions, tea red spider mite occurred 11~12 generations. The average periods from egg to adult emergence were 8.7~13.1 days in summer and 12.6~24.9 days in spring and autumn. The average longevities of adults were 15.5~21.9 days in summer and 25.1~31.6 days in spring and autumn. The average number of eggs laid per female were 45.1 in summer and 52.6 in spring and autumn. Tea red spider mite population showed two peaks during April-June, and appeared third or forth peak during October-November. The density of all the stages was the lowest in July through August. Tea red spider mites stayed at lower parts of tea plants in March but they moved to upper parts in April though June, and they again moved to lower parts after autumn. Tea red spider mite overwintered as all stages. Adults were the dominant overwintering stage during this stage. The surveyed natural enemies of the tea red spider mite were 7 species including Amblyseius longispinosus (Evans), A. eharai Amitei et Swirski, Anystis baccarun (L), Agistemus fleschneri Summers, Orius sauteri Poppius, Oligota yasumatsui Kistner and Scolothrips sp.

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.

In the first part, after discussing works on nacre, a soft-hard composite found in nature, including a simulation on network mimicking nacre [1-4], we talk on a simple model of spider webs, another example of natural soft-hard structure [5]. We demonstrate that the web network is free of stress concentrations because the radial threads are stronger than the spiral threads. In the second part, after reviewing our works on wetting on textured surfaces [6-8], we discuss penetration into textured surface and instability of a liquid film on textured substrates during spin coating [9,10].

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.

거미류의 독선에서 분배되는 독액(venom)은 생성지는 위치에 따라 독물질과 점액물질의 두가지 종류로 구분되었다. 선 분비부의 전부와 분비 관에서 분비되는 독물질은 전자밀도가 높은 구형 과립의 형태로 합성된 후, 부분분비에 의해 내강으로 방출되었고, 선분비부의 후부에서 생성되는 점액물질은 커다란 덩어리의 형태로 집적된 후, 세포질의 일부와 함께 이출분비의 기작에 의해 방출되었다. 이들은 공통적으로 선상피세포에 발달된 조면소포체와 골지복합체를 거쳐서 생성되었으며, 분비물질의 성숙 단계에 따라 다양한 형태적 변이가 관찰되었다.

A new species of Theridiidae, Carniella coreana sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Korea. The male of this newly described species is most similar to Carniella tsurui Ono, 2007 in the general shape of its palp, but can be distinguished by the winding structure of the embolus and broad tipped and twisted embolic apophysis. The genus Carniella Thaler & Steinberger, 1988 is newly recorded to Korean spider fauna.

Mt. Gamak is located south of the Imjin river, near the D.M.Z.: and the spider fauna of this area has never been explored. Tile authors collected spiders from this mountain since 1972. Findings were: 1) The authors recorded 115 species of spiders belonging to 21 families, 73 genera. including 7 undetermined spcies. 2) Trachelas japonicus was added to the fauna for the first time. Identification of Dictyna sp. (W), Episinus sp. (A) and Coeloter sp. (A) have not yet been completed by the authors. 3) These materials Iwere not sufficient for general discussion and conclusions of the spider fauna of Mt. Gamak area. However, results can be summarized: 21 northern species-$19.4\%$, 5 southern species-$4.6\%$, 1 cosmopolitan species-$0.9\%$ 4) Species common with China mainland were 45($41.7\%$). 5) As the result of this survey, the spider fauna of this area is similar to that of the Chun-cheon area, located at the same latitude in central Korea.

The powertrain of the waterjet system of a special-purpose vehicle makes use of the cardan shaft, which is composed of universal joints and shafts. These universal joints, composed of spiders and needle roller bearings, have to be designed with consideration for the bending and compressive stresses of the spiders and needle roller bearings, and the rating lives of the bearings. The bending and compressive stresses of the spider and bearing of a universal joint have been studied by many researchers. However, to design a universal joint effectively, overall consideration of the different specifications of needle roller bearings is necessary. In this study, the bending stresses of spiders and compressive stresses of needle roller bearings are calculated to design universal joints for powertrain cardan shafts with different roller diameters of bearing. Furthermore, the rating lives of the needle roller bearings are predicted using the calculated basic dynamic load ratings of the bearings. As a result, roller diameters less than 𝜙2.5 mm are found suitable through an analysis of the bending stress of the spider. All compressive stresses between spider and bearing, regardless of roller diameter, satisfy the requirements. Moreover, roller diameters of more than 𝜙2 mm are found suitable for the required rating life.
