A bunch of new Cretaceous spiders have been discovered in Korea, including the brand new genera Jinjumegops and Koreagemops. Some are the first representatives of their family preserved outside of amber, and one represents the first tapetum preserved as a fossil. (The tapetum is a reflective layer at the back of the eye.)
