A new species of Euryopis Menge, 1868 (Araneae: Theridiidae) from Korea

Euryopis papulan. sp., a new species of EuryopisMenge, 1868, is described from Geumsan-gun, south-central Korea. The new species is characterized by its abdomen with dense, sclerotized spots bearing short hairs and eight markings on the dorsum, an epigyne with a semicircular atrium and a strongly sclerotized, T-shaped median band, and internal genitalia with two pairs of thick-walled, round spermathecae and a copulatory duct confined between the spermathecae. The new species was collected by pitfall trap in the deciduous layer of a coppice forest on a hillock among rice fields.
