Three new records of wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) from Korea
Abstract
Three wolf spiders of the family Lycosidae Sundevall, 1833 are newly described from Korea: Arctosa labiata
Tso & Chen, 2004, Pardosa altitudis Tikader & Malhotra, 1980, and Pardosa laevitarsis Tanaka & Suwa,
1986. These spiders were collected during a seasonal survey of the spider fauna of National Parks located in
Gangwon-do and Gyeongsanbuk-do in 2018-2019; two males of A. labiata from Mt. Songnisan National
Park, one female of P. altitudis from Mt. Chiaksan National Park, and two males of P. laevitarsis from Mt.
Odaesan and Sobaeksan National Parks. The three newly recorded spiders have previously been known
to be distributed in Taiwan, India, China, and Japan. These spiders were collected by hand in mixed forest
leaf litter in mountainous terrains. The present paper taxonomically describes these three wolf spiders with
measurements and morphological illustrations.
