Abstract

In this paper I am going to describe two new species of Erigonid spiders belonging to the genus Tapinocyba baesed on the specimens which were obtained from mountanious areas in the northen part of Kanto Districts. This genus consists of about twenty species, which are distributed in Europe and North America. Yaginuma (1963) has recorded a species seemed to belong to this genus from limestone caves of Akiyoshi-dai plateau in Japan. Before describing the species, I wish to express my hearty thanks to Dr. R. Oi, Baika Women's College and Dr. T. Yaginuma, Ohtemon Gakuin University, for their constant guidance and kind help in literature and various ways. © 1980, Arachnological Society of Japan. All rights reserved.
