Type material of Evarcha coreana . Holotype ♂, Korea, Taegu, Mt. Palgong , 23.VII.1985, Hyeong-Gu Gang leg. Paratypes 7♂, Korea, Gyeonggi-do, Gwangleung , 7.IX.1964, Yong-Gi Kim leg., not examined .

Type material of Evarcha paralbaria . Holotype ♂ (IZCAS-Ar9252), allotype ♀ (IZCAS-Ar9253) and paratypes 1♂ 2♀ (IZCAS-Ar9254–Ar9256), China, Hubei Province, Hefeng County, 29–31.V.1989; paratypes 2♀ (IZCAS-Ar9257–Ar9258), China, Hunan Province, Dayong County, Zhangjiajie , 18.VIII.1990, examined.

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished by the male with blunt triangle ventral tibial apophysis and the female with kidney-shaped spermathecae.

Redescription. See Seo (1988) and Song and Chai (1992). Photographs of the types of Evarcha paralbaria are given in Figs 8–10 .

Distribution. South Korea, China (Zhejiang, Fujian, Hubei, Hunan).

Comments. The type material of Evarcha paralbaria was examined and based on the clear figures in Seo (1988: figs 1–5), no difference between E. coreana and E. paralbaria was observed. Thus, we consider E. paralbaria as the junior synonym of E. coreana . Although Evarcha paralbaria was included within E. coreana in Peng (2020), the synonymy was not stated. Upon examination of the type specimen, E. paralbaria is herein formally proposed as a junior synonym of E. coreana .
