  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Red-Back Spiders (Latrodectus hasselti) were found in all parts of Australia except in the hottest deserts and on the coldest mountains. The spider is now generally recognized as being the same family as the Katipo Spider of New Zealand and the Black Widow Spider of America. This species is the only representative of the genus Latrodectus in Australia. The Red-Back Spider was probably the most common cause of serious spider bites between 1927, when records were first kept, and 1956, when an anti-venom became available. The authors redescribe and figured detailly Red-Back Spider,L. hasselti, which was collected during a field trip of Australia.
