Diagnosis:

Males: This species can be recognized among congeners by the combination of the following features: the lack of prominent prosomal modification; the broad, apically pointed palpal tibial retrolateral apophysis without a tooth on the inner surface; lamella characteristica extal tip horn-like, with two projections, inner one triangular in ventral view, dorsal one blunt (fig. 5F in Tu & Li, 2006).

Females: Can be diagnosed by the half-octagonshaped dorsal plate of the epigyne (figs 16, 17 in Paik, 1980).

Distribution: South Korea; China, Jilin province. Remarks: Tu & Li (2006) and Seo (2011) have provided informative drawings of three perspectives of the male palps of Gongylidioides kouqianensis and Oe. insulanus, respectively, and their resemblance strongly suggests that these two species are identical. Since Oe. insulanus was published earlier, it has priority over Gongylidioides kouqianensis . The palpal and epigynal morphology of Gongylidioides insulanus is in accordance with the generic description of Gongylidioides in Tu & Li (2006), and supports the placement of this species in Gongylidioides .
