New records of two Korean species of the spider families Mimetidae and Thomisidae (Araneae) from Japan

Abstract

Two species of spiders of the families Mimetidae and Thomisidae originally described from Korea are newly recorded from Japan, that is, Ero koreana PAIK, 1967, and Oxyptila nongae PAIK, 1974. The discovery of the former species at Yokohama is probably caused by cargo transportation, while the records of the latter species widely spread in Honshu depend on the natural distribution.
