Abstract

The article reports on the first record of Episinus affinis Bosenberg & Strand, 1906, Phoroncidia pilula (Karsch, 1879), Steatoda grossa (C. L. Koch, 1838) from Sakhalin Island. These species are known from the territories adjacent to Sakhalin, but were not recorded for the island itself. The presence of Steatoda albomaculata (De Geer, 1778) on Sakhalin has been confirmed; the species is recorded for the first time for the southern part of the island. The article discusses the distribution of E. affinis, Ph. pilula, S. albomaculata, S. grossa, as well as the species composition of other representatives of the family Theridiidae on the Sakhalin and Moneron islands. The article provides the main identifying features of the species. It also features images of the appearance of spiders, the female epigyne and male palp.
