From August 2013 to August 2014 at Aogu Wetland of
Chiayi County, Taiwan, a total of 32 adult spiders of Salticidae were
identified, comprising 15 species from 13 genera. This paper describes 3 new
species and 6 newly recorded species as follows: Microbianor formosana sp. nov., Euophrys
taiwanus sp. nov., and Evarcha
chiayiensis sp. nov.; Carrhotus
tristis, Evarcha bulbosa, Menemerus bivittatus, Plexippus petersi, Rhene rubrigera, and Synagelides
zhilcovae. The males distinguish them from other congeners. In addition,
the female Sibianor pullus is
described for the first time. Species morphologies and detailed structures are
depicted in micrographs to compensate for the lack of textual description.
