― The locomotor activity rhythm of Thereuonema tuberculata was investigated under laboratory conditions. Under a light-dark cycle, locomotion was initiated ca. 1 hour after the dark phase began and the peak activity period occurred in the first half of the dark phase. The locomotor activity persisted in continuous darkness and continuous light and was well-entrained to a skeleton photoperiod. Thus, the locomotor activity is controlled by an endogenous pacemaker and is entrained by the transitions between light and dark phases. .

At present, only one Stertinius species, S. kumadai Logunov, Ikeda & Ono 1997, is known from Japan. In this paper, a new species, S. ryukyuensis sp. nov., is described and compared with S. kumadai, which is redescribed. Despite similarities in general appearance, the two species can be separated based on the morphology of retrolateral tibial apophysis and male cheliceral teeth, as well as the position of large spermathecal chamber.

Parasitism by the ichneumonid ectoparasitoid, Brachyzapus nikkoensis, on the agelenid spider, Allagelena opulenta is recorded for the second time with the first voucher specimen. The attacked host was an adult in contrast to the exclusive utilization of juveniles of the main host, Agelena silvatica. All published records of parasitism upon Agelena silvatica are from spring to early summer, and therefore this finding of parasitism in the end of September, would be consistent with B. nikkoensis shifting its hosts in accordance with their body size, seasonal prevalence and their availability, as previously suggested.

― A new species of the genus Wendilgarda is described as Wendilgarda ruficeps sp. nov. from Japan. Both sexes of this species possess a bicolor body: prosoma reddish orange and opithosoma dark grey, which is useful for distinction from other congeners. The male palpal morphology of this species is similar to that of W. sinensis and W. muji , but can clearly be distinguished by the serrated edge on the posterior side of the median apophysis. The female epigyne of this species is similar to that of W. sinensis ; however, it shows the smaller invagination on the posterior margin of the epigyne and the wider scape.
