Japanese salticid spiders of the genera Euophrys C. L. Koch and Talavera Peckham et Peckham (Araneae: Salticidae)

Abstract

Japanese salticid spiders of the genera Euophrys C. L. KOCH, 1834, and Talavera PECKHAM et PECKHAM, 1909, are revised. After an examination of many specimens from Japan, four species of the genus Euophrys were recognized, that is, Euophrys erratica (WALCKENAER, 1825), E. iwatensis BOHDANOWICZ et PRÓSZYŃSKI, 1987, E. frontalis (WALCKENAER, 1802) and E. kataokai sp. nov. One species of the genus Talavera, T. trivittata (SCHENKEL, 1963) was recognized. All the species are described and illustrated.
