You-Hui Bao and Xian-Jin Peng (2002) Six new species of jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) from Hui- Sun Experimental Forest Station, Taiwan. Zoological Studies 41(4): 403-411. The present paper reports on 6 new species of jumping spiders (Chinattus taiwanensis, Euophrys albopalpalis, Euophrys bulbus, Pancorius tai- wanensis, Neon zonatus, and Spartaeus ellipticus) collected from pitfall traps established in Hui-Sun Experimental Forest Station, Taiwan. Detailed morphological characteristics are given. Except for Pancorius, all other genera are reported from Taiwan for the 1st time. http://www.sinica.edu.tw/zool/zoolstud/41.4/403.pdf
Key words: Chinattus, Euophrys, Pancorius, Neon, Spartaeus.
Jumping spiders of the family Salticidae are the most specious taxa in the Araneae, and cur- rently a total of 510 genera and more than 4600 species have been documented (Platnick 1998). However, the diversity of jumping spiders in Taiwan is poorly understood. Until very recently, only 18 species from 10 genera had been described, almost all of which were published in the 19th century (Chen 1996). Despite the fact that the diversity of jumping spiders is the highest globally among the Araneae fauna, the document- ed number of Taiwanese salticid species has remained static since the early 20th century. This situation was somewhat rectified when Peng and Li (2002) and Peng et al. (2002) reported 15 new or new-record species from 12 genera. However, considering Taiwan,s subtropical/tropical climate and extremely high level of habitat heterogeneity, we are still far from even a preliminary under- standing of jumping spider diversity on this island.
Recently, a group project was conducted at Hui-Sun Experimental Forest Station to monitor the effect of ecosystem management on biodiver- sity and microenvironments (Ou 1999). For this project, many pitfall traps were established in 2 planted red cypress stands to investigate the diversity and community structure of forest under- story invertebrates. During the survey, a large number of spiders were obtained, and among them were 6 species of jumping spiders that are new to science. In this paper, we describe the external morphology and genital structures of these 6 species. The supplementary taxa described in the present paper increase salticid diversity in Taiwan to 39 species in 26 genera.

Hui-Sun Experimental Forest Station (24 04,N; ,°
121°01 E, with an area of 7400 ha) is situated in the central mountainous area of Taiwan and is a research and recreational facility operated by the Department of Forestry, National Chung Hsing Univ., Taiwan. The ecosystem management study sites are in planted stands 242 (5.61 ha) and 249 (28.16 ha). The elevation of these 2 planted red cypress stands ranges from 1600 to 1850 m. In total, twen- ty-nine pitfall traps were established in these planted stands. Six surveys of understory invertebrates
404 Zoological Studies 41(4): 403-411 (2002) were conducted between Apr. 1998 and July 1999; the surveys were discontinued after a major earth- quake hit Taiwan on Sept. 21 1999. During each survey, traps were opened for 12 days. Details regarding the subsequent processing of specimens can be found in Wang et al. (2001).
All voucher specimens used in this study are deposited at the Zoology Department, National Museum of Natural History, Taichung, Taiwan (NMNH-THU-Ar-). Measurements are in millime- ters. Legs were measured as follows: total length (length of femur, length of patella and tibia, length of metatarsus, length of tarsus). Scale bars are equal to 1.00 mm for all figures of the body and to 0.10 for figures of genital structures. Abbreviations used in this paper include: AER: anterior eye row, ALE: anterior lateral eye, AME: anterior median eye, EFL: length of eye field, PER: posterior eye row, and PLE: posterior lateral eye.

Tibial apophysis much thinner and sharper; distal portion hook-shaped in the new species but stout in C. validus. 3. Embolus much longer than that of C. validus in retrolateral view.
Etymology: The specific name is derived from the type locality, Taiwan.

Type specimens: Holotype: Maolan Natural Conservation Area, Libo Co., Guizhou, No.114, 1994, Coll. Wang Xin-Ping. Paratypes: 1♂, Hui- Sun Experimental Forest Station, Nantou Co., Taiwan, Oct. 1997, Coll.

Distribution: Guizhou, Taiwan
Diagnosis: The new species is allied to E. nepalica Zabka, 1979 (Zabka 1979), but can be distinguished from the latter by: 1. distal portion of the embolus cap-shaped, that of E. nepalica sharp; 2. distal end of the tibial apophysis stout, that of E. nepalica sharp; and 3. cymbium and tibia with dense long white hairs, which are absent in E. neplica.
Etymology: The specific name is derived from the presence of dense long white hairs covering the palp of the new species. Albo- is a Latin prefix, meaning white.
