Abstract

In 1969 and 1970 I published the papers entitled “Spiders of Tokyo I and II, ” which contained 355 species belonging to 37 families of spiders from Tokyo (including the Izu islands and the Bonin islands). The present paper deals with brief descriptions of 47 species of spiders which are newly added to the spider-fauna of Tokyo. These records are based on numerous published and unpublished sources, and include some records which are at present in press. Of 47 species listed in the present paper, including the records in the literature, one species (Erigonidium nigriterminorum) is from Mikurajima island, 2 species (Coleosoma blandum, Argiope key-serlingi) are from Aogashima island, and 3 species (Smeringopus pallidus, Cyclosa camelodes, Lycosa matushitai) are from the Bonin islands.With these additions, the spiders in Tokyo number 402 species in all.
