INTRODUCTION
Eleven species of the thomisid spider genus Ebrechtella are known from Palaearctic and Oriental regions(World Spider Catalog 2015). But only one Ebrechtella species, E. tricuspidata(Fabricius, 1775), was reported from Korea (Namkung et al. 2009).
The other thomisid spider genus Ozyptila consists of 108 species described around the world(World Spider Catalog 2015), of which five sepcies, O. atomaria(Panzer, 1801), O.
gasanensis Paik, 1985, O. geumoensis Seo and Sohn, 1997, O. nipponica Ono, 1985 and O. nongae Paik, 1974, were reported from Korea(Namkung et al. 2009).
While studying specimens collected during the Korean indigenous species survey, the author identified a new spe
cies, Ebrechtella juwangensis n. sp., a species new to Korea, Ozyptila utotchkini Marusik, 1990, and the male of Ozyptila geumoensis Seo and Sohn, 1997 for the first time, and re
ported these species with habitus photos and illustrations in the present paper.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Specimens were examined and measured using a stereo
microscope(Leica S8APO, Singapore). Photographs were taken with a digital camera(Leica DFC 420) and the images were combined using image stacking software(iSolution, Future Science Co. Ltd., Taejeon, Korea).

Abstract - A new species of the genus Ebrechtella Dahl, Ebrechtella juwangensis n. sp. and the male of Ozyptila geumoensis Seo and Sohn, 1997 are reported new to science. Ozyptila utotchkini Marusik, 1990 is reported for the first time in Korea. Habitus photos and illustrations of these three species are provided.
